Hokusai Fuji Mug

This mug features Hokusai's famous ukiyo-e piece Red Fuji, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. It captures the rare moment that the rising sun turns Mount Fuji red on a clear day in the early morning.

Each piece is handcrafted by an artisan of Kutani ware, and you can see their brilliant brush painting techniques in this mug. 

Pour your favorite tea, coffee, or juice into the cup. Your usual teatime will turn into a wonderful experience. 

Red Fuji is known to bring good fortune. It is highly recommended as a gift for someone who loves Japanese art and culture.

Bizan Kiln

At Bizan Kiln, each product is hand-painted by artisans who put in their hearts and souls. The viscosity of the paint, brushes, and techniques used are frequently adjusted based on the design, and each piece is finished by hand. The graceful, delicate, yet bold colors and sense of dignity are typical of Kutani ware.

Because the temperature and position of pieces in the kiln results in natural variations, every single piece is unique. Paints are applied to give a textured, three-dimension feel, expressing the warmth of handcrafting.

Kutani Ware

Kutani ware is a pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture, with a history spanning over 350 years. It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of navy blue, red, purple, green, and yellow that are applied to the bold and daring lines. Its long history has evolved through the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of people who have sought innovation while maintaining tradition.
