The Object
Unlacquered, so it darkens with the hand that carries it. Sized to be used every day rather than displayed, and made in numbers small enough that we cannot promise a second one.
The Story
We found this on our Tokyo collection trip, in a workshop we were taken to by someone who asked us not to name it. It was not for sale that morning; it was drying on a rack by the door.
What we look for is not rarity for its own sake. It is the sense that someone made a decision — about a curve, a weight, a finish — and then stood by it. This object is the result of about forty such decisions.
Where we found it
Tokyo
Japan
A short walk from the centre, in a district where workshops still sit between apartments and the same families have worked the same trade for three generations.
