Exclusivity Note: Each and every Mankai teacup is carefully handcrafted, resulting in slight variations that make each piece unique.

The Mankai Pink Cherry Blossoms Round Teacup stands as pottery art designed for daily life.

Shaped by master potter Kazuhiro Kojima, it is finished with the Nanasai Tenmoku glazing technique, a complex method that layers pink, ivory, and earthy tones into a surface that feels alive yet restrained.

Inside, delicate cherry blossom forms emerge beneath the glaze, while subtle asymmetries in rim and texture reflect an intentional wabi-sabi sensibility.

Far from factory repetition, each piece carries its own balance and depth. Ideal for tea or coffee, it settles naturally into quiet, refined routines.

More Information

Naturally One of a Kind
Each Mankai Teacup is shaped by hand by Kazuhiro Kojima, so every piece develops its own subtle differences in tone, rim, and surface balance.
These small variations are part of the making process and give the cup an individual presence that cannot be exactly repeated.
Pink Nanasai Tenmoku with Cherry Blossom Detail
The defining feature of this teacup is its Nanasai Tenmoku (七彩天目) glaze, which layers pink, ivory, and earthy tones into a soft, nuanced surface. Beneath the glaze, delicate cherry blossom forms emerge with quiet depth, while fine speckling and gentle shifts in texture give the cup a refined, living character.
Cultural Heritage of the Yunomi
As a yunomi (湯のみ), this cup belongs to the tradition of Japanese everyday teaware made for relaxed daily use.
The yunomi is valued for bringing comfort, beauty, and a sense of calm into ordinary tea moments, making it a natural vessel for both daily ritual and quiet hospitality.

Mankai Teacup Q&A

Learn more about this teacup set Mankai Teacup Set Q&A

Yes, the Mankai teacup can be used in the microwave.

For cleaning, handwashing is the safer choice. Frequent dishwasher cycles and strong detergents can slowly wear the glaze and may dull the delicate cherry blossom design over time. Mild soap and a soft cloth are recommended.

Is the Mankai teacup suitable for everyday use?

Yes. The Mankai teacup is made for everyday use, not only for display.
You can enjoy it daily for tea or other drinks, and with gentle care it will keep its beauty while gaining the natural character of handmade pottery.

Would the Mankai teacup make a thoughtful gift?

Yes, the Mankai teacup makes a refined and thoughtful gift on its own. Its cherry blossom design feels personal, elegant, and easy to appreciate.

For a more complete and generous present, the matching set of 5 can also be a beautiful choice, especially for weddings, housewarmings, or shared tea moments.

Is Mankai a type of yunomi?

Yes. Mankai is a yunomi (湯呑), a traditional Japanese teacup used for everyday brewed tea.
The term combines 湯, meaning “hot water,” and 呑, meaning “to drink.” Its shape is designed to feel comfortable in the hand and easy to use in daily life.

Can the Mankai teacup be used for drinks besides tea?

Yes, it is suitable for more than tea.
You can also use it for coffee, herbal tea, water, or other light drinks. It is best to avoid sudden temperature changes, such as adding very hot liquid to a cup that is still cold.

What gives the Mankai teacup its distinctive character?

Each Mankai teacup is made by hand in small batches, so no two pieces are exactly alike.
Slight differences in glaze, surface, and form are part of its charm. This reflects the spirit of monozukuri, where care, skill, and lasting quality matter more than uniformity.

Do you ship this teacup to the USA and Europe with tracking and insurance?

Yes. We ship to the USA, Europe, and many other countries worldwide. Every order is packed carefully by our team in Japan, sent with tracking, and covered by insurance.

Once your parcel has been shipped, we will provide the tracking details.
