History:

HASAMI PORCELAIN is made in the historic town of Hasami, located in Nagasaki prefecture, Japan. Taku Shinomoto lives in Venice Beach, California but originally moved to the United States from Tokyo, Japan where he worked as a furniture designer for a Japanese design company called Idee. Since then he has designed HASAMI PORCELAIN, a brass line called S N, as well as other products in Japan. Currently, he continues to design furniture in Los Angeles – most recently couches, side tables, book cases and dining table sets.

Materials:
Clay and porcelain mixture made of crushed stone.

Variation:
No two pieces are exactly alike. Due to the organic nature of this type of porcelainware, there are unavoidable variations, color unevenness, and what Hasami craftspeople call staining in the appearance of all HASAMI PORCELAIN products. These variations are the result of uncontrollable chemical reactions between the glaze and the raw materials during the extreme firing process when producing HASAMI PORCELAIN. Difference in color and texture is not considered second quality, nor is it considered defective or avoidable amongst the Hasami craftsmen community. Before purchasing, please read and look at photographs showing the unique traits of HASAMI PORCELAIN by jumping to: Every Piece Unique – Common Variations and Recommended Care Instructions for HASAMI PORCELAIN

Care Instructions:
Dishwasher safe. Microwave safe (except for the strainer). Not oven safe. Not safe to place over a flame. When you stack your pieces, please be mindful of not crashing pieces together to cause fractures. Staining and changing of color will naturally occur over time as ceramic is a natural material. This type of aging and patina is to be cherished, and does not mean that the piece is dirty or unsafe.
