Featuring the distinctive nami-yu glaze, which is made from the ashes of the Kyoto forest, this mug has a natural base color in yellowish cream-white. 

This particular piece depicts Fujin, the wind god. Not only is he a supernatural deity, but he is also believed to be an attendant of the Buddha. Fujin rides upon a cloud, carrying a cloth that allows him to control the wind at will.

The paintwork is done by individual Japanese-style painters, pursuing their own originality and depth beyond the expectations for a mere decoration. 

The finishing touch to the handle and the bottom of the mug is a lining of gold. Due to its delicate characteristics, gold can only be applied as an overglaze to truly display its beautiful color.
