Wakakusa-iro (若草色) is a traditional Japanese colour name meaning young grass: the light, yellowish green of new shoots in spring. Stacking cups and mugs are a practical Japanese answer to small kitchens and busy counters: they nest securely, take up less shelf space and are easier to carry in a stack. Mino ware comes from Gifu Prefecture, Japan's largest ceramic tableware region.
What colour is wakakusa?
Wakakusa means young grass, and it names the bright, slightly yellow green of fresh spring growth. It is one of Japan's traditional colour names, and it sits between leaf green and lime.

What are the dimensions?
We have the capacity, 320ml, but not the exact height and width yet. We will add them when the stock arrives.
Is it dishwasher and microwave safe?
We are waiting on the maker's care guidance and will add it here before the stock lands, so we are not going to guess. Until it arrives, hand washing in warm soapy water with a soft sponge is the safe choice for glazed Japanese tableware. Let it dry fully before stacking or putting it away.
When will my pre-order arrive?
This mug is on a container due in the UK in late October 2026. Order now to reserve one, and we will send it out once the stock has landed and been checked in. If the arrival date moves, we will let you know.
