Product Features
Commitment to materials and manufacturing methods: Each piece is handcrafted by potters using specialty clays from various regions of Japan (Tokoname-yaki, Shigaraki-yaki, Bizen-yaki, etc.). Glazes are also made from naturally derived raw materials, giving each cup a unique color and texture. The shape of the cup was developed with an emphasis on "comfort of grip," and the optimum shape was developed through repeated prototyping. It also features excellent heat retention properties, allowing you to enjoy your coffee or tea for a long time.
Design diversity: A broad lineup of products ranging from basic designs to collaborative models with artists. Products are available for a variety of uses, such as "a cup that can hold a single flower," "a cup and saucer with a lid," and "a cup and saucer that can be used as a set." Every month, "limited edition models" are released, gaining popularity among collectors.
Gift-wrapping service: We offer gift wrapping for various occasions such as wedding celebrations, birthdays, Christmas, etc. The service of hand-writing messages on "message cards" is also very popular, and many customers have commented that they were very pleased with their gifts.
Events and Experiences: As "hugmug STUDIO," we have established a workshop in Tokyo and Kyoto and regularly hold "Draw Your Own Cup" workshops. A potter will carefully guide you so that even beginners can easily participate in the workshop. The completed cups are fired and sent to the participants at a later date, and have been well received by participants, who say, "Every day is fun when I use a cup I made myself. In addition, "Ideas on how to use the cups" are posted online, introducing how to brew coffee and simple recipes for cooking with the cups.
