Find: The Cutest Japanese Mugs Ever

I admit a bias toward anything that features adorable illustrated cats (Hello Kitty anyone?), but I think we'll agree that Ecoute Mugs from Japan, designed by Japanese artist Marini Monteany, are definitely more than just your average level of cute.

Featuring brightly painted characters dancing around with animals while wearing bunny and cat costumes...the sheer weird funniness of it all should shake a smile out of the most caffeine deprived soul.
