Chopsticks and Chopstick Rest Set - Historic colors as a modern table accent.
Adding "charm" to tradition, coloring everyday life.
In Mino, Japan's number one pottery town, within the 1000-year history of Mino ware, Oribe is a traditional color scheme that emerged approximately 400 years ago. Its traditional colors, once affectionately known as "heuge-mono" (charming objects), have been elevated into light, contemporary tools that blend seamlessly into modern life.
Deep, subdued greens, born from Japanese earth and glaze, vividly enhance any food and bring a crisp depth to the dining table.
The warmth of handcraft, where no two pieces are alike.
Particularly, the rounded, soft form of the chopstick rests embodies the breath of handcraft. By daring to use traditional glazes that tend to drip and create irregularities, no two pieces have the same expression.
The texture of the clay felt at your fingertips, and the nuances of the glaze that change with the light.
In an era that demands efficiency, this "slight unevenness" gently relaxes the mind before a meal, creating a comfortable space for reflection.
Modern usability that supports "beauty in utility."
While inheriting the fine traditions of old Mino ware, both the chopsticks and chopstick rests are dishwasher-safe for home use.
We have refined this historical beauty into tools that can be used daily without hesitation.
The story of colors continuing for 1000 years, brought to your palm.
As its name "Heuge" suggests, this charming pair brings quiet happiness to your daily dining table.
