The other day when I visited "MUJI". I found "Oekaki pen for ceramics" on the product shelf, so I bought it immediately.


This product is a pen that allows you to easily make tableware with an original pattern just by baking it in the oven. It is a popular product that has become a hot topic mainly on the Internet this year and has been sold out and resold repeatedly. I've always been interested in it, so I'll try to make something right away.

◆ Let's decide the design

First of all, when I searched for what kind of tableware people are making, I found a lot of fashionable and high quality tableware. It seems that they are enjoying it with free ideas, such as making it a Scandinavian tableware style or making it an art style that is completed by putting food on it.


After a lot of trouble, the author decided to make a mug that "symbolizes this year" because it was December. The buzzword came to my mind.

◆ Can you remember this year's buzzwords? (* If you are not interested in baseball, please skip it)

The "U-Can New Words Buzzword Award" announced by U-Can every year. "Buying" and "Triple Three" were selected for the 2015 Annual Grand Prize. Regarding triple three, many people said, "I heard it for the first time" and "What?"

However, the author was secretly delighted. Triple three means that in professional baseball, batters record a batting average of 30% or more, 30 home runs or more, and 30 or more stolen bases in the same season. This year, Yuki Yanagita (Fukuoka Softbank Hawks) And Tetsuto Yamada (Tokyo Yakult Swallows) achieved this. It's a wonderful achievement.

And what to hide, I'm a hardcore Tokyo Yakult Swallows fan. … It's been a long time, but I'm going to leave this joy in the mug.

◆ Let's make

Heat-resistant tableware is prepared. I thought it would be easy to use at 100%, but there aren't many tableware that can be used in the oven, so I prepared a mug of the "porcelain beige" series recommended on the MUJI website.


There are 10 colors of pens in all. There are two types of pen tips, felt-tip pen style and brush pen style.


If you pick up black and write it, it is very easy to write without bleeding with moderate fineness. The staff who passed by asked me "Cryptography?", But this is neither a cryptography nor an IP address. It is a record of Yamada's triple three.


Suddenly I was worried if I could finish it as it was, so I decided to draw a cute picture on the other side, remembering the design of the cup I saw somewhere (this made the cup more and more incomprehensible). The brush pen is thick and uneven in color, so it is suitable for painting. By the way, you can wipe it off with a tissue before baking, so you can rewrite it as many times as you like until you are satisfied.




After painting, put it in the oven at 220 degrees and bake for 20 minutes. After that, it will be completed if you leave it for 1 hour in the refrigerator and another hour outside.



Even when I washed it with water, it did not come off at all and was colored firmly. I was able to drink coffee without any problems.


◆ There are many other products besides MUJI!

Mysteriously, I became attached to the cups I made, and I wanted to make not only cups but also various tableware. If you make it with your child, it will be a good memory for you later.

If you can't find the stock of MUJI products, you can find similar markers and paints at Epoch Chemical and Pebeo Japon. Why don't you make one tableware in the world during the winter vacation when you can take your time?
