eel coffee mug
There are various theories about the origin of the custom of eating eel (according to Gennai HIRAGA), and the best known theory is that it was invented by Gennai HIRAGA (1728 - 1780) from Sanuki Province. According to the report, an eel restaurant that was not successful in business went to Gennai to ask him to sell eel that could not be sold in summer. Gennai wrote that "Today is the day of the ox" and advised to stick it to the store front. The eel restaurant became very prosperous. After that, other eel restaurants began to imitate this custom, and it is said that the custom of eating eel became established on the day of the ox in the Doyo. There are various theories as to why the pasted paper on which the letter 'Ushi no hi' was written was effective, but one theory says that 'If you eat something with the letter 'u' on the Ox day, you will not lose in summer.' wikipedia Citation

I like to buy and review my own work to ensure you get an outstanding product and I’m happy to give the Primary Colours Beach Football Mug 5 stars because it meets my expectations completely. Pleased with it I am. Zazzle mugs are well fabricated, microwave and dishwasher safe. And this yellow red and blue panoramic wraparound motif is sealed with a durable and sparkling Orca polished gloss glaze finish. It’ll never rub off! The size and energy of two jostling figures and a burly goal keeper fit the mug's circular shape well. There's momentum in the carousel effect as the two jostling figures repeat and move right around the mug and meet a burly goal keeper. Big sharp original images precisely drawn and delicately captured in blue and red with plenty of bright yellow! An ideal gift for anyone who plays ball! A fun gift for all beachball and football fans. A pair with the Retro Grey-Grain Beachball Player Mug. Available in two sizes and several styles including Black Ringer, Travelling, and Stern. Go have a peek!

These mugs are simply the best. They printed to a very high quality. The size of mug is large and they hold a lot of drink in them. They're priced exceptionally well. I cannot praise these mugs more! The print quality of these mugs is absolutely super. The Battenberg design is the same colour as our racing club, so a lot of members have bought these and everyone is satified. These mugs are highly recommended.
