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

This particular piece depicts Raijin, the thunder god. Not only is he a supernatural deity, but is also believed to be an attendant of the Buddha. Raijin holds a ring of drums, allowing you to enjoy the presence of a miniature deity as you sip your everyday tea or coffee.

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

The finishing touch to the handle and the bottom of the mug is a lining of gold. Due to its delicate characteristics, gold can only be applied as an overglaze to truly display its beautiful color.
