Uki Jumbo Hoshi 藍杯

Watching the morning light catch those hand-painted brushstrokes is honestly half the pleasure of using it. I live in a small apartment, so knowing it came from Tajimi's artisan tradition makes my tea ritual feel a bit more special each time.

I’ve been using this hand-painted mug every morning since it arrived, and the artistry from Tajimi really shows in the delicate brushwork. It holds just the right amount for my tea and feels wonderful to hold.

The hand-painted design is even more intricate up close, and the mug feels substantial without being too heavy. I just wish the blue was a tiny bit deeper.
