Yukihiro Kaneuchi's ceramic coffee cup may look monotonous and boring but there's more than meets the eye.

On the outside, it's just a white cup, but look inside and you'll find something magnificent. Kaneuchi has drawn a miniature landscape around the inside of the cup. The image depicts an animal standing peacefully at night, then as you turn it, a girl is seen happily dancing along the field. Kaneuchi has created something that's elegant and peaceful at the same time.
