Hasami Porcelain teamed up with Nippon Kodo, one of Japan's most known incense manufacturers, for their line of incense. Nippon Kodo still makes the incense by hand. According to their century-old tradition, they only use high quality, raw materials.
Remarkably, a young aloeswood tree has no scent, which only develops as it grows. As the tree ages and it is exposed to bacteria native to the area, the tree develops an aromatic resin. Over time, this develops into a very dark and rich resin with a distinctive and lovely fragrance. Aloeswood does not float in water, due to its density and high percentage of resin. This is why aloeswood is coined "Jinkoh" in Japan — "a fragrant and heavy wood that sinks".
At Misc-store we also carry Hasami Porcelain's Sandalwood Incense.

Hasami Porcelain — made in Japan
Hasami Porcelain is a collection of tableware, manufactured using traditional techniques, yet designed with modern living in mind. Hasami Porcelain sees the whole table as part of the art of hospitality, drawing on more than 400 years of Japanese thinking on how we can turn even the simplest meals into an art form. Their unique recipe creates strong, durable porcelain with a textured surface that has a distinctly organic feel compared to that of regular porcelain.
Stacked and combined, the Hasami Porcelain pieces form a beautiful rhythmic harmony. The modular system, and the functionality of nesting, is inspired by tiered boxes — traditional lacquer ware — used in Japanese cuisine. This way plates also become lids for bowls; all pieces of the collection are multifunctional and complementary to each other. The result, a beautifully aesthetic cupboard, kitchen or office pantry.

About Hasami Porcelain
Hasami Porcelain tableware sees the whole table as part of the art of hospitality. All sensual aspects of a dish (including, but not limited to the meal) are considered, and drawn meticulously. The simple colours and rough-hewn textures form a canvas for even the most delicate flavours to play against, making room in our often busy lives to simply sit, think and enjoy. Their collection is also entirely modular. Perfectly stackable straight lines made with innovative techniques, ensuring that the porcelain stays precisely the right size. The result is a series of perfectly formed pieces that are easy to store and transport.
The rural mountainside village of Hasami in southern Japan, where Hasami Porcelain is based, has a 400-year history in porcelain making, selling their wares all over Japan. But when husband-and-wife team Takuhiro and Keiko Shinomoto visited the township a few years ago, they found not a porcelain empire but a rural village of 17,000, ailing after a decade of being undercut by the rise of plastics and mass-manufactured tableware from China. The fires lighting the massive kilns that still dot the town’s landscape were slowly going out. This lead to the Shinomotos establishing the Hasami Porcelain brand in 2012 as a way of helping to keep local knowledge — and the experimental, democratic spirit that comes with it — alive.
Here at Miscellaneous, we’re proud to stock much of the Hasami porcelain range both online and in our Amsterdam store. For tableware that’s both elegant and everyday, we really can’t go any further.
