Handcrafted by Wakasama Pottery in Mashiko, Japan, the Yamaneko Straight Mug brings a touch of storytelling to everyday life. Its handle, shaped like a whimsical wildcat inspired by Kenji Miyazawa’s beloved tales, seems to peek curiously over the rim — a charming detail that makes each sip feel special.
The mug’s body features gentle vertical ridges and a soft off‑white kinari glaze, giving it a calm, natural elegance. Made from Mashiko clay, it carries the warmth of handcraft and the subtle beauty of Japanese pottery.
Designed for modern living, it’s microwave and dishwasher safe, combining artistry with practicality. Perfect for your morning coffee or afternoon tea, it adds a quiet moment of delight to your daily routine.
Also available in Ocean Blue, a deep navy glaze reminiscent of the sea — pair them together for a harmonious and playful touch to your table.
A piece that blends craftsmanship and imagination, making it a thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates handmade charm.
