Flag of the Tokugawa Lords of Wakayama in Kii Province B (Japan) White Coffee Mug

This design is the banner of the Kii Tokugawa, the Wakayama branch of the Tokugawa clan, in a monochrome of black and white built around a radial hollyhock-style crest.

Visual Elements & Composition

Black and white share the field almost evenly, with black slightly ahead. At the centre sits a circular disc with rays spreading out from it, and a ring of stylised leaves radiates around that disc. The arrangement has six-fold symmetry, so every part of the emblem answers the others. Small scroll-like forms sit at the base of the leaves, and the flat vector finish keeps all the lines sharp.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Kii Tokugawa, also called the Kishu line, descended from Tokugawa Yorinobu, a son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and they governed Wakayama in Kii Province. Their branch is one of the three Gosanke houses, which served as a reserve of heirs for the Edo shogunate, and the Kii line later gave the eighth shogun, Tokugawa Yoshimune. The hollyhock crest was a closely guarded emblem of Tokugawa authority, and the Kii variant differs from the Owari form in the arrangement of its leaves, which marks the house's own identity.

How It Sits on the Mug

A mug is turned in the hand, so the central disc comes round to the front as the cup is lifted and passes out of view as it is set down. The radial design suits the round body of the vessel, since the rays draw the eye around the curve. The black and white contrast stays clear from every angle. It will appeal to anyone interested in the Tokugawa houses or the heraldry of the Edo period.

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.
