Photographer’s Note
These colorful-made-in-China mugs can be found at Daiso. Daisō or The Daisō (ザ・ダイソー) is the largest franchise of 100-yen shops in Japan-so much so that its name has become synonymous with "hyakkin" or a hundred Yen. In Japan, 100 yen shops, or one-coin shops are similar to dollar stores in the United States and pound shops in the U.K.
Daiso has a range of over 90,000 goods, of which over 40 percent are imported goods, many of them from China. Many of these are own-brand goods. Daiso was launched in December 1977 and is headquartered in Higashi, Hiroshima City - Japan. Daiso currently operates over 3000 stores across the world.

I should have arranged these mugs before taking the picture. All I did was shot as quick as possible since it is illegal to photograph in this shop.

Hi Henny,
This photo looks very natural and well-lighted. For me, the most interesting mugs are at the bottom left. Unfortunately, it's a little cut off. But understandable considering the quick shot. I just hope that the owner of this store is not a TE member!
Let's see.... at current exchange rates,
In the US, 1 dollar = 89 yen
In the UK, 1 pound = 121 yen
In Europe, 1 euro = 114 yen
So US would have the cheapest such store.
