It does not depict a Tiki, and I personally do not know any Tiki bars who used it as cocktail glass (and I know most of them). To call ANY Asian themed ceramic vessel a Tiki mug is a bad custom begun by e-bay dealers to get more clicks on their posting. Barrel mugs are barrel mugs, skull mugs are skull mugs, The Chinese yellow face mugs are Dr. Funk mugs, Fog cutter mugs are... Anyway, the mug name should denote what it depicts, OR the cocktail that was most commonly served in it, or the manufacturer's name...or, like in the case of the "Suffering Bastard", a commonly used descriptive term. So you can make up the name for your Japanese farm girl, but it ain't Tiki.
