This mug was designed by Sven Kirsten for Kahuna Tiki and Kahuna Tiki TU. It is a Lono tiki head that incorporates the Samurai "Mempo" facial mask imagery and features a Samurai sword on the reverse stabbing a fish (inspired by vintage OMC Samurai Grog Mugs and also alluding to this being a sushi establishment).
This mug was released by Sven Kirsten on June 25th at The Original Tiki Marketplace in Garden Grove and on June 26th at the first inaugural Desert Oasis Room Listener Meet-Up in Los Angeles by Sven Kirsten at his booth. This glaze color was not released at the restaurants, but was a Sven Kirsten limited edition exclusive.
