Modern Tableware Design

Today's modern tableware design of Hasami Porcelain was created by Japanese artist Takuhiro Shinomoto. The designing philosophy of Shinomoto was to create simple and modern tableware using the original manufacturing techniques of Hasami craftsmen in Japan. These crafting techniques are found in every step in the process of making our ceramics - from molding the clay to the final touches.

In our shop, you will find a broad selection of Hasami dinnerware, cups, plates, bowls, teapots, and wooden trays. Our selection is manufactured in the town of Hasami in Japan.

Even though the pottery is manufactured through a mutual process, each product has its specialized characteristics reflected in the distinctiveness of each craftsman.

There is a certain comfort in touching the soft textures of Hasami pottery that you will undoubtedly notice at first glance.

The mixture of raw natural resources used in the glazing of the pottery gives it an organic vibe that resonates throughout our entire selection.
