Sumo Oiri Mug

Sumo wrestling is a martial art and sport but also a spectacle, so it takes some of its elements from show business. One example is using the word "oiri," which means "great attendance" and refers to a full house. This is printed on envelopes containing bonus money. The two characters used to write the word on a red background is a talisman that people in the sumo world believe will bring audiences in. And looking at the Sumo Oiri Mug, it makes a great coffee cup design too!

The Sumo Oiri Mug is 140.8 mm (5.5") tall with a capacity of 330 ml (11.2 fl oz). Its thick(ish) handle has a diameter of 21.8 mm (0.9"), which makes sense since everything in the world of sumo is big! The cup is made of bright red porcelain and on its side, next to the big white rendering of "oiri," also has the characters for "Thank you for a full house," "Final day of the tournament," and "Nihon Sumo Kyokai" (Japan Sumo Association). Start your day with a cup of sumo coffee in this beautiful mug!
