Coffee Mug Japan, Kanji Art Coffee Mug | Special Gift For Him/Handmade Gift | Lover Gift Gift

This Japanese kanji coffee mug is handmade ceramic in a warm beige glaze, hand-painted with the kanji for “love” in flowing script on the front, the word in English along the side, and a single red dot on the back — a quiet nod to the Japanese flag.

Handmade, hand-painted, one at a time

Each handmade ceramic mug is shaped, glazed and painted individually in our studio, then kiln-fired. The calligraphy is brushed by hand, so the weight and flow of the strokes differ on every mug — which is the whole point of brush lettering.

Minimalist by design

Three elements, nothing else: the character, the word, the dot. That restraint is drawn from Japanese design principles and is why this minimalist mug works on a bare desk as comfortably as in a busy kitchen.
