About This Design
Kokoro Heart Kanji Japanese Calligraphy Coffee Mug
This single kanji character 心 is pronounced 'kokoro' and is the Japanese word for heart. It refers to heart in the non-medical, non-literal sense(there's another word for such situations). It refers to heart, mind and spirit as one, rather than as separate concepts.
This broad meaning can be related to anything that you put your heart into, that you give your all to, and to a commitment to live a life of truth and passion with inner strength. Kokoro is the essence of something. As such, it was chosen by the author Natsume Soseki as the single word title of one of his most famous novels, a classic in Japan and around the world.
Brush artist Hiro created these works at his studio in Kyoto by hand. Then we scanned it for use here.
The likeness of Hiro's red name stamp in the lower left corner together with the dynamic style of the calligraphy gives this design a real verve that accentuates the philosophy behind this energising and uplifting kanji character.

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!
