Tableware and Traditional Crafts

Made in Japan: Masterpieces of Traditional Craft, Proudly Offered by Asahido

Traditional craft items are made one by one by hand. The techniques involved, the manufacturing procedures that have been handed down from generation to generation, and the raw materials that are used vary with each locality.
At our store, you can see for yourself how different the form, color, and texture of authentic traditional goods are. As we wish to protect the skills of the Japan’s shrinking population of traditional artisans, we make it our mission to tell everyone who comes about how special their craftsmanship is.

Tableware that Only We Could Provide

We do not limit ourselves to stocking exclusively ceramic ware, but also have wine glasses, cutlery, place mats, and so on, providing first-class tableware that is tailored to our customers’ lifestyles.

The Harmony of Traditional Crafts

Ceramics, glass, woodwork, metalwork, fabric products …

Take one in your hand. We want everyone to understand the magnificence of these masterpieces of traditional craft made by traditional craftsmen from throughout Japan: it seems to us that the fine qualities of Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware are enhanced by the presence of other traditional wares, and vice versa.
