About WHOSMiNG
Ming Liu is a multidisciplinary designer and illustrator with experience working on projects ranging from print, web, animation, and motion graphics. As an illustrator, his #mingscups series has become popular and well-known on social media. He's skilled at capturing people’s features, using simple lines and strokes.In 2016, Ming traveled to Portland, one of the best coffee cities in the US. While sipping on a great cup of coffee at Heart Coffee Roasters, he had a sudden urge of wanting to capture the moment. With a marker and cup in hand, he began spontaneously sketching the barista of Heart Coffee Roasters. He realized that it was an interesting thing, so he kept sketching baristas and photographing the coffee shops he visited while traveling. The #mingscups series has been shared by brands in the US, like Ace Hotel, PUBLIC HOTEL, La Colombe Coffee Roasters, Intelligentsia Coffee and more. Ming has also been invited twice to hold solo exhibitions in Tokyo by Japanese brand “Tegamisha (手紙社)”.Ming has now sketched over 300 cups, in over 30 cities throughout the world, and he is constantly adding to more. In his new book “Travel & Coffee (旅行與咖啡) ” he shares his illustrations and coffee shops in the cities he's visited, including ones in Tokyo, Seoul, New York, Seattle, Toronto, Shanghai, Taipei, Kamakura, Sapporo, Havana, Chicago, and Portland.

About Yamato Toujiki
Arita, one of the most prestigious pottery producing regions of Japan, has been playing a fundamental role in providing trusty products to support Japanese culinary culture for more than 400 years. Among the manufacturers we met in Arita, Yamato Toujiki is one that was flexible and open to new designs and ideas, while still embracing traditional techniques.
The craftspeople there are truly meticulous in their work, not overlooking even the slightest difference in shape and carefully finishing each piece one by one.
As we went though countless prototypes, their professional inputs such as “this thickness tends to deform after firing” or “the angle of this curve could be adjusted a little more” has given us many new perspectives to give the design we envisioned an actual shape.
The precision in the craftspeople’s work we witnessed on our visit to Arita was truly remarkable. How they used potter’s wheel so naturally like breathing, and how a beautiful shape emerges from it- the moment we saw it, we realized that we are not just making something but also passing on this culture of the art.
Another thing that stuck with us was the atmosphere of the workshop. It was quiet but full of energy at the same time, the air filled with history and a proud craftspersonship.
“You never know until it comes out of the oven” they said- that’s why they treat each and every piece with such attention and precision, making adjustment along the way as needed. In their such work ethics we saw a shared sense of pursuing the ideal with our product designing process.
Kyoto Series is a product born through the hands of such craftspeople- it would be our pleasure if you could feel the warmth of human touch and their stories as you sip.
