Detailed Description:

Unique vintage Japanese ceramic sake cup set inspired by traditional Japanese festival masks and folkloric characters. This set was designed as a playful Japanese drinking game set, combining decorative ceramics with party-game elements commonly enjoyed during gatherings and sake drinking occasions.

The set includes three sculptural cups shaped as iconic Japanese folk characters: Hyottoko, Tengu, and Okame/Otafuku. Each character features expressive hand-painted details and exaggerated theatrical facial expressions inspired by traditional Japanese masks, matsuri culture, and folk performances.

In many similar Japanese novelty sake game sets, players would drink from randomly selected cups or use the differently shaped vessels as part of humorous drinking games during parties and celebrations.

Characters Included:
• Hyottoko – humorous folk character associated with fire-blowing and comic expressions
• Tengu – legendary mountain yokai with the iconic long red nose
• Okame / Otafuku – cheerful feminine lucky character symbolizing happiness and good fortune
