This order is a mug dyed with a bird and animal caricature by Hozamagama, a Kyoto kiln that produces Kiyomizu-yaki pottery.

The design shows a rabbit rolling around after a sumo match. Next to the rabbit is a frog with its arms outstretched, raising a monstrous flame.
This is one of the most popular and vigorous scenes in the picture scroll.

This is porcelain, so it does not have any penetration and is stain resistant.
The white color is also very strong, so the color of the drink can be clearly seen.

The slightly open mouth is very comfortable to drink from.

The rim is black because it is painted with iron.


The frog raising a monstrous flame fills me with energy! The black color is due to the iron coating.
