Cup (Champagne Glass Shape), Ascending Dragon

It depicts a dragon coiling around the cup and soaring vigorously into the heavens, over Mt. Fuji, Japan's highest peak!!
A theme befitting the Olympics, where athletes strive to be the best in the world.
After sprinkling wako silver over a Wajima-lacquered cup and polishing it out (togidashi), maki-e depicting a dragon inspired by the Northern Song painter Chen Rong is applied.
