Each Karakusa umbrella bottle has been hand coated by expert craftsmen using traditional Japanese lacquer techniques. The 'Maki-e' technique (a metallic powder consisting of gold or silver in lacquer) is then used to craft the final design. The vermillion colour of this bottle provides a backdrop for Karakusa, a traditional Japanese pattern of intertwining vines symbolizing prosperity and longevity.
This is an exclusive drink bottle from from thermo mug and a specialty lacquerware house in Japan. Hold a piece of Japanese art in your hands for your next drink!
A folded umbrella concept has been incorporated into the slim and lightweight design. There's no problem storing it neatly into your carry bag while on the move. The vacuum insulation of the double walled bottle lets you keep drinks hot or cold for over 6 hours, so it's not only a good looker.
This is the perfect gift for that special someone. Or for yourself.
