Neither round, nor square. It is round, and also square.

Square and round are both elemental forms of nature, orbital track of motion, or structural element of a form. Oriental people study the law of the universe and emulate nature, and from that they create objects. On a spiritual level, they also assimilate them into way of life.

Philosophy

Holding water is a logical & natural manifestation of the round mug.

Adding a cube on its surface, IS a human expression, an act that ingeniously directs one’s visual orientation, and confer an expression upon the mug.

Structure

We use double wall structure to build this cup, that means you can holding a hot drink with this cup without handle.
