The historic town of Hasami in Nagasaki Prefecture began crafting its porcelainware almost 400 years ago during the Edo period, distributing them throughout Japan as well as to Europe. Today, "Hasami Porcelain" is designed by Takuhiro Shinomoto of Tortoise in Venice, CA whose vision was to integrate modern tableware design with the organic quality produced by traditional Japanese manufacturing techniques.
