Flag of Johana Toyama 1973-2004 (Japan) White Coffee Mug

A white circular emblem with a kanji character and an arrowhead sits on a deep maroon field, reproducing the historical municipal flag of Johana, a former town in Toyama Prefecture, Japan.

Visual Elements & Composition

Dark maroon covers most of the artwork, and white forms the emblem that sits on top of it. The emblem is circular, and a Japanese kanji character is set within it, with an arrowhead shape adding a sharp directional note. The flat vector style gives the forms clean edges, and the strong contrast between the two colours makes the mark easy to read.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem was the official insignia of Johana from its adoption on 16 June 1973 until the town was retired from the register in 2004. The flag reflects the local community's identity during its years of independent administration. Johana merged with six neighbouring municipalities to form the city of Nanto, and this flag records the community as it stood before that change. Japanese municipal emblems of this period often combine a character with a simple shape, and this one follows that pattern.

In the Hand

A mug is turned as you drink, so the maroon field and its white emblem come into view one side at a time. The white ceramic gives the deep maroon a clean, rich contrast, and the shiny finish keeps the emblem's edges crisp. The C-handle sits to one side, leaving the emblem clear to face you when you set the mug down.

Sturdy white ceramic mugs available in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), with a glossy finish and comfortable C-handle — microwave and dishwasher safe, and made from lead- and BPA-free materials.

These mugs are built from durable white ceramic so colors pop cleanly and prints read with strong contrast. A smooth, glossy glaze gives each mug a lively sheen and makes it easy to wipe clean after daily use.

Both sizes feature a classic C-shaped handle that feels natural in the hand; whether you sip slowly or gulp quickly, the grip is steady. Safety-wise, the ceramic is processed to be lead- and BPA-free — suitable for everyday drinking.

  • Material: white ceramic with a glossy glaze for bright, clear prints.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) to suit small and generous pours.
  • Handle: comfortable C-handle for balanced holding and easy lifting.
  • Safety: lead-free and BPA-free for peace of mind with every cup.
  • Finish: glossy surface that highlights saturated inks and smooth detail.

Perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a rich hot chocolate — these mugs fit comfortably in most cabinets and cupholders. They’re also a reliable choice for office kitchens where items see frequent use.

  1. Everyday use: safe for hot liquids and daily serving; the wider 15 oz option works great for larger morning routines or extra-steamy drinks.
  2. Office-friendly: the classic profile stacks easily with similar mugs and sits securely on standard saucers and trays.
  3. Gift idea: a practical, well-finished mug is useful and simple to display or wrap for gifting.

Quick note: while the mugs are dishwasher-safe, treating them gently helps keep the print looking fresh longer (see Care tab).

These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.

For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.

Available sizes: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml) and 15 oz (approximately 440 ml). The 11 oz is a classic coffee size; the 15 oz gives extra room for cream, froth, or larger servings.

Each mug has a standard-width mouth for easy sipping and cleaning; height and diameter vary slightly between sizes to maintain comfortable proportions and sturdy balance.
