Hakusan Porcelain's Hirachawan

Hirachawan is a masterpiece by Mr. Masahiro Mori, who was a representative product designer in Japan, as well as an in-house designer at Hakusan Porcelain. Since there are 100 types of patterns in total, we have chosen the nine most recommendable ones.

Hirachawan's diameter is 3cm greater than that of ordinary rice bowls and makes the rice look beautiful and tasteful. It also looks excellent with simmered dishes and side dishes placed on it. Please try adding them into your everyday dining table.

Thanks for the tracking information. Among the many sellers of Hakusan pottery, your site was the only one offering EMS, a real advantage for the international buyer. The economy shipping method takes nearly a month to arrive. It was also interesting that this bowl is variously described as a rice bowl, as a cup, or as a tea bowl by its sellers. One of my uses is as a cereal bowl. It has a much better shape and size than most such bowls. It feels good to deal with a small company in Kyoto. I collect ceramic tea cups from an artist named Suzuki Tomio who also lives in Kyoto. (Tomio Suzuki just doesn’t sound right.) Thanks again for your help in completing a set of these bowls for me.

The concept is "a paper cup, that lasts forever"

Using paper cup's shape as a subject, Glocal Standard Products' Kop is a wooden cup produced by using the thin-sawing technologies in Yamanaka, Ishikawa Prefecture, a city known to be the biggest lacquerware producing center in Japan.

Although paper cups have been popular for a long time, with a practical shape that has been deeply researched, once they are used, they are soon thrown away. However, unlike these paper cups, Kop can be washed and used for many times.

It is also popular for gifts. Receivers would surely be amazed by the thinness of its grain that is see through.
