Hasami Ware: Craft for Everyday Life

Hasami ware is defined by its quiet balance between function, beauty, and restraint.

Originating in Hasami, Nagasaki Prefecture, its history dates back to the early 17th century, when the region became a major center for porcelain production under the patronage of local feudal lords.

Unlike more ornamental styles created for the elite, Hasami ware was developed primarily for everyday use, emphasizing durability, stackability, and efficiency without sacrificing elegance. Over centuries, artisans refined standardized forms while allowing subtle variation through glaze, firing, and hand finishing.

Traditionally influenced by Chinese techniques, Hasami gradually formed its own identity—clean silhouettes, practical proportions, and understated decoration. In modern times, Hasami ware has evolved seamlessly, embracing contemporary design while preserving its utilitarian roots.

This enduring adaptability reflects a philosophy in which craftsmanship serves daily life, creating objects meant not only to be admired but also truly used and lived with.
