Touan: Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki, the traditions of Kyoto

Touan, a Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki pottery manufacturer, was founded in 1922 in Senyuji Temple, Higashiyama, Kyoto. The patterns on the cups are painted by skilled artisans one by one using colorful glazes. The expressions unique to brushwork, such as blurring, gradations, and shading, and the layering and firing of colors multiple times create depth and three-dimensionality like a painting.

Ogawa Coffee, a Kyoto coffee craftsman

Since then, supported by the aesthetic sense and sensibility of Kyoto that has been cultivated over the years, the company has honed its aesthetic sense and skills with pride as Kyoto coffee artisans, and has ceaselessly pursued the world-class "authentic" taste. Please enjoy a special time and feel the atmosphere of Kyoto with a Kyoto Kiyomizu-yaki mug.

The mug we are delivering this time features "gloxinia" and "Philadelphus phillyraeoides". Gloxinia means "glorious days" and Philadelphus means "recollection". Why not reminisce about the past while sipping fragrant coffee?
