CARE INSTRUCTIONS

■ Chopsticks

• Each pair is handmade, so slight variations in size and shape may occur.

• The applied glaze may show drips or irregularities: each piece is unique. Appreciate the visual play of the glaze on the chopsticks.

• Avoid excessive rubbing, chlorine-based detergents, and prolonged soaking, as this may cause discoloration.

■ Chopstick rest

• • After use, do not soak. Wash with warm or cold water, then immediately dry with a soft cloth.

  • Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid deformation or discoloration.

  • Do not use near a heat source or in very hot water.

  • Avoid abrasive brushes or scouring sponges.

  • If the chopsticks become dull or damaged, stop using them and replace them.

  • The chopsticks have tapered tips: to prevent accidents, keep them out of reach of children.

  • Use only for the intended purpose.

MINO POTTERY

The Mino region is recognized as Japan’s foremost ceramic production center. With a history of over 1,000 years, it has developed a great diversity of pieces suited to the styles of each era.

Among Japan’s 15 traditional craft styles, four types – Setoguro, Kiseto, Shino, and Oribe – stand out for the balance of their colors and have become emblematic of Mino ceramics.
Continuing this tradition inherited from the time when it was affectionately nicknamed "Hyôgemono" (meaning "objects full of charm"), we offer tableware designed for everyday modern use, to be passed down to future generations.

Discover the beauty of Mino ceramics, which have accompanied Japanese tables for over 1,000 years, through the combination of ancient and contemporary techniques, clay, and glazes.
Immerse yourself in the aesthetic world of the Heuge style through this collection.

The four emblematic colors of Mino ceramics – the glossy black of Setoguro, the natural and melting white of Shino, the deep and sober green of Oribe, and the warm yellow of Kiseto – have been passed down for a millennium.
They are ideal for enhancing the ingredients of Japanese cuisine.
