SETO CITY · AICHI, JAPAN
This story begins in the heart of Japan's pottery region, where ceramics have been made for more than a thousand years. Setomono, the everyday Japanese word for tableware, comes from this place. In 1950, a small ceramics shop opened its doors. Seventy-five years later, the studio's work is known across Japan. Slow, considered pieces, shaped by a place that has set the country's table for a millennium.
The tableware determines what you drink. The tableware determines what you eat." - Mitsuo Kato, Founderall japanese pottery →
