2021 is the Lunar Year of the Ox, or as they say in Japan, where things are often cuter, sweeter and more kawaii, the Year of the Cow.
J Style has just released a new series of Zodiac Animal mugs, with blue and white hand painted designs featuring the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac, in Japanese style.
There are some variations to what we in Australia tend to recognise as the Chinese Zodiac Animals. The Year of the Goat, is the Year of the Sheep in Japan, the Pig is the Japanese Wild Boar, and the Rooster is often a more motherly Chicken.
Zodiac Animal mugs are priced at $9 each wholesale, sold separately and individually boxed, so you can choose your own zodiac animal or just collect the cutest animals you love with no care as to whether you are born in the right year. Rabbit mugs for Easter, Horse mugs for horse lovers and Tiger mugs for everyone.
