Interesting Cups from Daiso

In Japan, I would get my kitchen items from Daiso or Seria (100 yen shop). Well, not only it's cheap (Japan standard), the design is good and very often, very cute! So, I would end up with something most of the time after I visited 100 yen shop.

Well, I bought 2 cups from Daiso, not for drinking though. I stayed alone and didn't have guests coming to my house. I bought it for the phrases and words on the cup.

Interesting cups from Daiso

The first cup: 日常五心

1. はい (Honesty)
2. 私がします (Dedication)
3. おかげ様 (Humble)
4. すみません (Reflection of one's conscience)
5. 有難う (Gratitude)

The table below shows the fishes names in Kanji and Hiragana (just like the examples on the cup). Some is not even available in the Japanese IME dictionary. So, I copied from some websites, kind of interesting! There are more examples on these websites, have fun!
