The SOW Plate Square - White was especially designed to enjoy together with hibi's 10 Minute Aroma incense. The tray was handmade in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, where hibi has its origin. With its characteristics in Japanese Tamba ware, the tray features a squared octagon shape with a glazed finish uniqe to every tray. We recommend placing hibi's non-flammable mat over the tray before usage.

Project SOW is a collaboration between hibi and aspiring creators from all over Japan, aiming to modernize traditions together and keeping them alive, while retaining local cultures that they have inherited.

Tamba ware, also spelled Tanba, and also known as Tamba-Tachikui or Tambayaki is a type of Japanese pottery produced in Sasayama and Tachikui in Hyōgo Prefecture. Traditionally characterized by a reddish-brown color from the iron-rich slip called akadobe and a greenish-brown glaze from vitrified ash during the firing process, modern Tamba ware is much more diverse in style and finish.

At Misc Store we also carry the SOW Plate Square in black or in the round version.

hibi x Misc Store Amsterdam

hibi's story starts with two traditional industries in the Hyogo Prefecture of Japan; matches and incense — the incense of Awaji Island and the matches of Harima.
These two traditional industries first encountered each other in 2011. The collaboration started with the idea of an incense that could be lit like striking a match, and was followed by 3 years of trial and error. As Japanese incense is generally very brittle, a clever solution had to be created. A precise recipe of incense and washi pulp was developed: an aromatic product with properties of strength and fragrance, which does not break even when struck like a match.

The names of products and packaging were developed to convey the sensibility of today’s Japan. All those things were ‘designs’ to create a new way of enjoying fragrance.

About hibi

hibi

hibi means ‘day to day’, or daily, in Japanese. It was given with the hope that you will keep hibi incense around you every day and freely enjoy its fragrance, matching each day’s mood or occasion. The logo’s design combines two of the Chinese character ‘日’ (day) set next to each other.
