A playful Japanese goroawase mug featuring “39” — a number that reads as “Thank You!”

This ceramic mug features the number 39, read in Japanese as san-kyū, a phonetic match for the English phrase “Thank you.”
Using goroawase—a traditional Japanese number wordplay—the design blends language culture with a warm, simple message of appreciation.

Clean, minimal, and easy to understand even at a glance, the graphic feels lighthearted without being loud. It works naturally as an everyday mug while carrying a small cultural story that makes it especially meaningful as a gift.

Made from durable white ceramic with a glossy finish, this mug is available in 11oz and 15oz sizes, making it suitable for coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. High-quality printing keeps the design crisp and vibrant through daily use.

What is Goroawase?

Goroawase is a Japanese wordplay technique where numbers are read in multiple ways to form words or phrases.
In this design:
3 (san) + 9 (kyū) = “san-kyū” → “Thank you!”
