MINO-YAKI PEBBLE HASHIOKI

The Mino-yaki Pebble Hashioki (chopstick rest) has the speckled, sandy texture of a river-worn stone. Its earthy brown hue is accented with a hint of translucency that reveals paler clay beneath — tones that will match any Japanese table setting. We think its rounded organic form is like that of a tiny, minimalist objet d'art.

Mino-yaki, believed to be the oldest form of artistic pottery produced in Japan, dates back to the Nara Period 710-794. Produced in the old Mino Province, in present-day Gifu Prefecture, it became popular for traditional tea ceremony vessels. Today, the styles of Mino-yaki are as varied as they are beautiful — from the warm rustic glazes of hand-thrown traditional Kiso Seto, Black Seto, Shino and Oribe ware to the soft pastels of modern tableware.
