Small Cup -Shippou"七宝"pink by Kiko-kiln

Miniature Mug by 4th‑Generation Master of Kiko Kiln

Kyoto‑yaki Meets Modern Handmade Design

Crafted by Tiko Imabashi—fourth‑generation head of the renowned Kiko Kiln—this petite mug embodies centuries of traditional Japanese pottery.

Blending Kyoto’s age‑old techniques with a style tailored for contemporary living, it’s a perfect example of handmade ceramic art.

The thin, lightweight body feels almost weightless in hand, showcasing the artisan’s refined skill.

The shippo (Seven Treasures) motif—representing gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, conch shell, coral, and agate—symbolizes harmony, balance, and good fortune.

Each interlocking circle is hand‑built in relief, creating a tactile, three‑dimensional design.

With its compact size and light feel, this versatile Kyoto pottery mini cup is ideal for water, tea, sake, or espresso.

An elegant gift that brings the beauty of Kyoto handmade ceramics into everyday moments.
