Featuring the distinctive nami-yu glaze, which is made from the ashes of the Kyoto forest, this mug has a natural base color of yellowish cream-white.

It depicts the famous illustrated scroll named “Choju Giga,” which is a caricature picture scroll depicting anthropomorphic animals and their playfulness, dating from the 12th to 13th centuries. These designs from the picture scrolls are designated as a Japanese national treasure in Kozan-ji Temple in Kyoto. Please enjoy these humorous and playful works intricately depicted through Tousen Kilns painting techniques.

The paintwork is done by individual Japanese-style painters, pursuing their own originality and depth beyond the expectations for a mere decoration.

A lightweight mug with a warm, cream white color with a hand-painted design. You can enjoy the company of playful rabbits, frogs, and a fox entertaining your everyday tea or coffee.
