Been There – Kumamoto
Been There – Kumamoto seems to be the last mug from Japan that was missing on the site. It was released four years ago, so I am happy to finally add it.

Built in the early 1600s by the feudal lord Kato Kiyomasa, the castle became a symbol of military strength and architectural ingenuity, featuring complex defensive designs. During the late Edo period, Kumamoto served as a key stronghold for the Hosokawa clan, who governed the region for over 200 years.… Read more

By the late 19th century, it was one of the largest and wealthiest cities in the British Empire, known for its grand architecture, cultural institutions, and booming trade.… Read more
Been There Ornament – Beijing
Been There Ornament – Beijing is a mini mug for a city that is more than China’s capital – it’s a city layered with centuries of memory, culture, and quiet surprises. Beyond the towering government buildings and gleaming business districts lies a network of ancient hutongs: narrow alleys lined with grey brick homes, fluttering laundry, and the smell of breakfast steaming in bamboo baskets.
Each alley tells a different story – of revolution and poetry, of neighbors who’ve shared the same courtyard for generations.… Read more
