Artist and musician Yoko Ono has teamed up with coffee company illy to design a collection of cups and saucers, featuring the dates and places of six tragic events written in Ono's handwriting, including the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945 and the day John Lennon was shot and killed in 1980.

The collection, which is being released alongside Ono's upcoming show at the Museum of Modern Art, is titled Yoko Ono: Mended Cups - illy Art Collection, and is said to be inspired by Kintsugi, the Japanese technique of repairing cracked pottery with brushstrokes of gold.
