The special thing about Hasami porcelain certainly is its unique feel, the comfortable texture that is carefully shaped with modern lines and pleasant aesthetics. It is not only about aesthetics but also a very smart system behind it.

The modular design of Hasami Porcelain is based on the stacking principle of traditional Japanese lacquer boxes called Jubako. All the porcelain pieces can be stacked and used multifunctionally. Many of the products are versatile in function such as the plates, which can also be used as trays or as lids. Its primary appeal is not only in its form, but also its functional nesting design for ease of serving foods and its storage efficiency for limited spaces.

About Hasami Porcelain

The historic town of Hasami in Nagasaki Prefecture is one of the foremost pottery districts in Japan. Hasami began crafting its porcelainware almost 400 years ago during the Edo period, distributing them throughout Japan as well as to Europe through the port of Nagasaki. Hasami craftsmen were able to develop a highly efficient system to mass produce their porcelain products thereby making them more consistent in quality and reasonable in price. HASAMI PORCELAIN was designed by Takuhiro Shinomoto of Tortoise in Venice, CA whose vision was to integrate modern tableware design with the organic quality produced by traditional Japanese manufacturing techniques.
