Does anyone know if this place is still around or when it was around? The mug itself doesn't seem to be that old, and is only marked with a "Made in Japan" sticker on the bottom. Still an interesting Southern find I thought. Happy Tiki Hunting! I was under the impression that older mugs (40s and 50s) were made in Japan, whilst later mugs were made in other locales (ie. China, Taiwan) Anybody know for sure?
