Hi, I’m Eri from Miyake Ceramics!
In Japan, Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June.
It’s a day to say thank you to the dads who work hard every day — though compared to Mother’s Day, it sometimes gets a bit less attention.
Interestingly, many countries also celebrate Father’s Day on the same day — the third Sunday of June.
For example, the U.S., the U.K., Canada, India, and the Netherlands all share this date.
However, some countries have their own unique traditions:
- In Thailand, Father’s Day is on December 5th — the birthday of the late King Bhumibol.
- In Germany, it’s celebrated on Ascension Day with hiking and beer (yes, really!).
- In Italy and Spain, Father’s Day is on March 19th, tied to a Catholic tradition.
No matter the country, it’s a chance to show appreciation for fathers in our lives.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful Father’s Day gift, why not consider Japanese tableware?
From hand-crafted beer mugs and “sobachoko” (small cups for noodles or drinks), to sake cups and traditional tea bowls —
our Mino ware pieces are simple, beautiful, and full of warmth.
They’re perfect for fathers who enjoy good food, drinks, or simply the art of slowing down with a cup of tea.
Give a gift that brings comfort every day — and adds a touch of Japanese craftsmanship to your dad’s table.
