A special exhibition taking place at Museum Eki in Kyoto looks at the joy and beauty of the demitasse cup. Literally meaning "half cup" in French, around 400 of these beautiful coffee cups will be displayed at the event, in a range of different designs - from bold to delicate, and traditional to modern. There will also be a focus on European pieces which were influenced by Japanese artistic style in the 19th Century.
Adult admission to the event is priced at 900 yen.
