The character of Nishiki Miso features a horse that has become an elegant chopstick rest made using the same materials and manufacturing methods as the traditional "Sekishu瓦" (Sekishu roof tiles) from the Iwami region in Shimane Prefecture.
"Sekishu瓦" are clay tiles that have been produced in the Iwami region of Shimane Prefecture since the Edo period. They are resistant to frost damage and salt damage, making them one of Japan's three major types of瓦. The Kameya Kiln in Hamada City, Shimane Prefecture, responsible for manufacturing these chopstick rests, has been producing beautiful and durable Sekishu瓦 based on traditional techniques for over 200 years.
With a simple, timeless texture and durability similar to Sekishu瓦, these chopstick rests are long-lasting and sturdy. They are also dishwasher safe.
Using three different glazes, each type has its own distinctive character. Please feel free to keep your preferred one on your dining table.
■ Rust (Sabi)- Features a simple, unglazed-like texture with a slightly rough feel.- The lightest color among the three types.
■ Oribe (Oribe)- Has a slightly greenish, glossy finish with a smooth surface.
■ Kimachi (Kimachi)- Exhibits a rich bronze color with a matte sheen.- Has a smooth, silky feel.
*Please note that as these are handmade products, there may be individual differences in the finish.*
*Colors may appear slightly different depending on your monitor environment.*
