The Bee Trade Mark wraps around this ceramic in full — the aged parchment ground, the red-winged bee in spread, the dual silver medal seals, and the Osaka Japanese banner reading 大阪谷盆社製造 running across the base. Damp Proof. Trade Mark. Silver Medal. A label that was built to last, now wrapped around the thing you reach for every single morning.
The colored handle and interior — available in 12 accent options — make each version its own object. The maroon shown here echoes the deep reds of the original label perfectly, as if the mug and the label were designed for each other a century apart.
Who This Is For
For the Japanese vintage enthusiast who wants the archive on their desk, not just their back. For the coffee drinker with taste. For the Japanophile who knows the Bee Trade Mark and wants it in their morning routine. Makes an exceptional gift for anyone who loves Japanese retro design, Meiji-era aesthetics, or antique ephemera — especially paired with the matching tee or tote from the same collection.
About the Collection
Every design in the Ichinichi Collection is drawn from a personal archive of original Japanese matchbox labels spanning 1880 to 1940. The Bee Trade Mark is one of the collection's signature pieces — an Osaka export label awarded silver medals and distributed across Asian markets at the height of Japanese commercial printing. We bring it faithfully into everyday objects, one label at a time.
