 ※※The color may appear different depending on the lighting and the device you are viewing, but this color is azure (a color between blue and green)※※ We have finally started selling necklaces in the popolo series! The necklace was created with a 40 cm chain length, which is said to be the most flattering for women. How about a necklace that you can wear at any time? This is an accessory that uses Mino ware tiles, a traditional Japanese craft. This may be a sudden question, but what comes to mind when you think of "tiles"? Do fewer people imagine bathroom walls now? The accessories we make using Mino ware tiles are: Each one is made by hand. And since the tiles are also made by craftsmen, each one has a unique character. The reason I created this accessory is: If the tile culture becomes obsolete, we might no longer be able to see the traditions that people of the past cherished. We aim to introduce the goodness of tiles in a new form through our products. This "Mino ware tile" is sourced directly from a kiln in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture. Since there are no intermediaries, we can maintain this price and quality. What is Mino ware? The history of Mino ware tiles began in the 3rd year of the Taisho era (1914). The foundation of Mino ware tiles is built on over 1300 years of history, preserving the tradition and techniques of pottery known as "Mino ware." We have adapted the tradition and skills of Mino ware tiles into a form that is easily integrated into modern times. Each piece of jewelry is handcrafted, and the design may vary slightly, making each accessory one-of-a-kind. Including Mino ware tiles from Tajimi in the Mino region, a traditional ceramic production area, the current situation in Japan is that demand for traditional items is decreasing. When you think of tiles, many people might think of bathrooms and toilets, but nowadays, very few houses use tiles, which sometimes makes us feel nostalgic. If awareness of tiles continues to decline among the younger generation, these traditional items might no longer be available. Therefore, we want people to learn about traditional culture in a new way! With this in mind, we developed our products. To contribute to new forms of "town revitalization and regional revitalization," we are giving new life to these traditions as accessories. To further deepen local activities in the future, we have started initiatives that connect employment support with our work. I believe that there are limitless things that people with disabilities can do, depending on their creativity. We aim to be a bridge between traditional products and employment support through popolo. Our future goal is to have our work featured in the media, spreading awareness about our local community and employment support activities not only in Japan but also overseas.

A “gift” that conveys your daily gratitude Would you like to give the gift of “rich home time” as a token of gratitude? “Palo Santo” gives you relaxation Design a rich time at home using the traditional craft Mikawachi incense plate as a saucer. 【specification】 ○Palo Santo Length: Approximately 10cm (there may be slight deviations from each piece) 5 pieces included ○Incense plate Diameter: approx. 10cm Bottom: approx. 5.5cm Height: approx. 1.5cm ○Gift wrapping Packed as shown in the 1st to 5th photos. For the 9th photo, I will cover it and wrap it with twine. [Charm of Palo Santo] It is a wild fragrant tree that is supported by highly sensitive people such as fashion people and yoga instructors in the NY area, and is attracting attention as a sustainable aromatic product, making it a great companion for a rich "home time." You can enjoy the refreshing feeling of being in the forest just by leaving it there, and it can also be used for natural interior decoration. Among the many fragrant woods, this tree is attracting a lot of attention because of its strong and long-lasting fragrance. [What is Palo Santo] It is a naturally fragrant tree that grows wild in Peru, South America, and is called the "sacred tree." Because it contains a lot of resin, even a small piece of wood gives off a rich scent. The fragrant smoke that rises when lit is said to ``purify the space, drive away bad spirits, and invite good spirits.'' Good spirits are attracted to the scent of palo santo and gather to lend their strength, but they also ward off bad spirits. Spirits are said to be chased away. We only handle palo santo cut with a "machete cut/hatchet". This prevents excess heat from being added and maximizes the oil content and aroma. In addition, the machete cut gives it a natural shape, making it useful as an interior. [How to burn palo santo] ① Light the stick with a lighter, etc. ② Light the fire and when smoke comes out, fan it with your hand to extinguish the fire until only smoke comes out. ③Carry it around so that the smoke spreads throughout the space. ④ Once the smoke has spread sufficiently, wait for it to stop rising naturally. (It will stop standing up in 2-3 minutes) *Even if you don't burn it, by cutting it into small pieces with scissors, the oil inside will come into contact with the air and emit a fragrance. *Even if you burn it every day, one pack can be used for about 1 and a half to 2 months, so it is a highly cost-effective fragrant wood. [Rare Palo Santo Tree] Palo Santo is currently a protected tree under the Washington Convention and cannot be felled, and international trade in logs is prohibited, making it an extremely rare tree. However, it is available to farmers and some companies certified by the Peruvian government, and we only sell palo santo that has been imported through legitimate methods. [History of Mikawachi ware and Kasen kiln] In the late Edo period, ultra-thin porcelain called "eggshell" caught the attention of the captains who stopped by Dejima, Nagasaki, and was exported overseas. Thinness, strength of porcelain, and elegance. ``Delicate and precise'' in works of art, ``Accompanied by what is served'' in vessels. We have a history of mastering porcelain. In the Hirado domain, Kano school painters served as official painters and drew illustrations within the castle grounds, and potters from Mikawachi solemnly created pottery as offerings. Potters aiming for white pottery discovered Amakusa pottery stone that had been unloaded as a whetstone in Haki Seto, and combined it with Ajiro stone from Hariojima to create detailed carvings, handicrafts, and thin pottery. . "Kasen Kiln" Founded in 1603. Craftsmanship passed down for 15 generations Starting with the first Kane clan Taemon during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, and during the Edo period, pottery was produced in the official kiln under the patronage of Lord Matsuura, the lord of the Hirado domain, and continues to pass on the origins of Mikawachi ware, which is described as delicate and elegant. I am. On the other hand, we are also working hard to popularize Mikawachi ware as a daily use item, such as by developing original brands and creating warm and gentle pottery that takes advantage of the soft hand-painted materials.
