Start your day with a masterpiece in hand. The Blue Hokusai Wave Mug Cup features The Great Wave off Kanagawa, one of Japan’s most celebrated artworks, rendered in delicate sometsuke (blue underglaze) on fine porcelain. With Mt. Fuji in the distance and the dramatic wave in motion, this design brings timeless Japanese artistry to your morning routine.

Crafted in Japan, this porcelain mug holds 12 oz (approximately 350 ml) and features a comfortable handle and wide rim for a smooth drinking experience. The straight-sided form offers a contemporary feel, while the intricate wave detail and surrounding Shonzui-style patterns lend a sense of history and depth. Whether you’re enjoying tea, coffee, or matcha, the Blue Hokusai Wave Mug Cup adds a refined cultural touch to every sip.

Note: As each mug is handcrafted, slight pink glaze speckles, small iron spots, or subtle glaze variations may appear. These are natural results of the firing process and part of the character of this mug.

Mino Ware

Mino ware is a traditional pottery from Gifu Prefecture with a history of more than 1,300 years. Its origins trace back to the Nara period, when early potters began producing simple earthenware. During the Momoyama period (late 16th century), Mino became Japan’s leading center for ceramics, giving rise to distinctive styles such as Shino, Oribe, and Kizeto—each deeply connected to the aesthetics of the Japanese tea ceremony. Today, as Japan’s largest pottery-producing region, Mino continues to evolve with contemporary life, blending timeless craftsmanship with modern design to support the way people eat and live every day.

Mug

Mugs are large drinking cups for hot beverages often used in daily routines. Whether it's a morning cup of coffee or afternoon tea time, a cozy beverage can bring comfort anytime of day. Design details, quality materials, and hand-finished touches can enhance a mug's look and feel, and these qualities can soon make it your favorite cup. Mugs are thought to symbolize sharing and friendship.

FAQ

Are the small dents, pinholes, or texture marks on this ceramic piece a defect?

No. These marks are normal characteristics of handcrafted Japanese ceramics, formed during shaping, glazing, or firing in small kilns. Subtle dents, tiny pinholes, and slight texture variations are part of the artisan process — not defects. If you see clear cracks, chips, or peeling glaze, please email support@jocgoods.com with photos.

Are the small black or dark specks in the glaze safe?

Yes, the dark specks are safe. They are natural iron minerals in the clay that react during high-temperature firing, leaving small marks under the glaze. They do not affect food safety, durability, or performance, and are part of the organic character of handmade Japanese pottery.

Do your ceramic dishes contain lead or cadmium?

Some glazed ceramic pieces may contain trace amounts of lead or cadmium sealed beneath the glaze, at levels safe for food use. Japanese ceramic tableware is regulated under the Food Sanitation Act, which sets leaching limits for lead and cadmium in glazed tableware. Testing standards differ by country, so we cannot guarantee compliance with every regional regulation.

Why does each handcrafted bowl or plate look slightly different from the photo?

Each piece is shaped, glazed, and fired by hand in small artisan kilns across Japan, so subtle differences in color, glaze pattern, weight, and even rim shape are expected. No two pieces are identical. This natural variation is what makes each item one of a kind, not a quality flaw.

Even if a ceramic piece is dishwasher safe, should I still hand-wash it?

Dishwasher-safe pieces can go in the dishwasher, and doing so will not damage the glaze. That said, ceramic (earthenware) is more prone to chipping than porcelain, and pieces can knock against the rack or other dishes while loading and unloading — which is the most common cause of small chips. For longevity, hand-washing with warm water and a soft sponge is gentler.

Can I add a gift message to my order?

Yes. You may add a personalized gift message of up to 250 characters at checkout — it is printed on a card and included inside the package. Prices and order details are never shown on the card or anywhere in the shipment, so the recipient sees only your message and the gift itself.

Will my order be wrapped as a gift?

Yes. Every JOC Goods order is wrapped in a traditional Japanese furoshiki cloth before shipping at no extra charge — both gifts and personal orders. If your order includes many or large items, the furoshiki may be packed inside the box rather than wrapped around them. Prices are never included in any shipment.
