This elegantly-crafted Hasami Pen Rest is brought to you by designer Makoto Koizumi from Kakimori. The sinuous and organic shape is inspired by the natural form of water droplets, and comes in two different sizes which fits one pen or two pens respectively. Hasami porcelain(波佐見焼) originated from the town of Hasami in Nagasaki Prefecture, and is one of the most prominent pottery craftsmanship in Japan. All of the Hasami Pen Rest are carefully handcrafted by traditional artisans at the local pottery studio, Koushun-gama.

Four varieties of glaze finishes, including Yuteki(Black), Kindei(Gold), Ruri(Lapis Lazuli), and Karayaki(White), are thoughtfully selected to represent different craftsmanship and aesthetics of the Hasami Porcelain.
Kindei is created by mixing golden granules into the glaze. Pottery with the Kindei finish will obtain this matte and exquisite shimmer after the firing process.
