Fuji Kumo Yunomi, Japanese Teacup

Fuji Kumo, meaning Fuji cloud. Mount Fuji and clouds in blue on white.

The Fuji Kumo Yunomi is a Mino ware mug in a white glaze, hand-painted in blue with Mount Fuji rising between rounded clouds on one side and a cloud over a blue sea on the other, a brown line at the rim, and a small blue cloud painted inside near the lip. The inside is white. A pale inside shows the colour of the tea honestly, so you can judge a sencha at a glance. At 300 ml it is a mug for a long sencha or an evening hōjicha.

Mino ware (美濃焼, Mino-yaki) is one of Japan's most celebrated pottery traditions, produced in the Gifu Prefecture region for over 1,300 years and known for the sheer variety of its glazes and techniques.

Made in Mino, Gifu Prefecture, Japan.
