I agree with Peter, it is Japanese, although I have never heard of that name before.

Hi thanks for letting me post this. I didnt realize until i looked closely there are two different sets this small set and it is only a couple of cups and saucers is so fragile it has a beautiful sheen to it the inside looks like mother of pearl and the colours so vivid and bright the marking reads  MADE IN JAPAN in black wrighting or it may be dark brown .There are no other marks
Thank You

I would date this cup to the 1960s,
