Eiko Ito and her family of four painstakingly produce the Tanuki mugs by hand. The pottery with the tanuki motif is now known throughout Japan & extremely popular. Orders need more than a year in advance at the small pottery.
Tanukis (狸, "tanuki") are considered tricky in Japanese folklore, like to dress up and can even turn into magical tea kettles. So the little prankster fits perfectly as a motif on our tea mugs.
