Flag of the Omura Lords of Omura in Hizen Province C (Japan) White Coffee Mug

This banner sets a stylised white leaf crest over a ground of horizontal black and white bands, the emblem of a samurai house from the Hizen coast of Kyushu.

Visual Elements & Composition

Black and white share the field, with black taking around three-fifths and white the rest. The ground is built from horizontal bands that run the width of the design, giving it a steady, rhythmic structure. Over these sits a central emblem: a cluster of white leaves with veined edges, drawn in a paulownia-like manner. The style is flat vector and restrained, with a single emblem against a light-and-dark ground, so the crest carries the composition.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Omura were a samurai clan of Hizen Province, in what is today Nagasaki Prefecture. They descended from Fujiwara no Sumitomo, and Omura Tadazumi was the first to take the Omura name, drawn from a village in Hizen. The clan is notable as the first daimyo family in Japan to become Christian: Omura Sumitada was baptised as Bartholomew in 1562. The leaf mon was the family crest used as a banner motif, and it speaks to samurai lineage and feudal authority in medieval Japan.

Reading the Crest on a Mug

A mug is held close and turned in the hand, so the banding and crest are seen in passing, the leaf cluster coming into view as the cup rotates. The alternating bands carry across the curve of the vessel, while the emblem stays in one place for the eye to find. It is a clan banner for a morning cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate, brought into the kitchen with the dignity of a family mon that once hung over a Kyushu fortress.

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.
