Waku-Waku Originals

Inspired by the Japanese feeling of waku-waku, the excitement of discovering something new. Our mugs are designed to capture the magic of traveling through Japan, with each design inspired by real moments from our journeys across different prefectures.

Featured Prefecture: Kyoto

Kyoto is a place I find myself returning to again and again. I've visited in every season and even spent a month there, taking time to experience the city beyond the usual tourist sights.

This design brings together some of the things I love most about Kyoto, from the peaceful Kamo River and bamboo groves to the historic streets of Gion, where geisha and rickshaws still feel like part of everyday life. You'll also find iconic landmarks such as Yasaka Pagoda and Yasaka Shrine, along with a nod to Kyoto's famous matcha culture.

Next Stop: Shikoku
