In celebration of the Sakura this spring, we spotlight six Japan-based makers who put the "special" in speciality craft and design.
Food and drink are art forms in Japan, and Hirota considers glassware as central to the experience. Since 1899 Hirota has approached each piece as an individual work of art, fusing Japanese aesthetic traditions and European glass-blowing techniques for a handcrafted product that exudes creativity and care. All of which are still created in Tokyo.

Israeli-born potter and woodworker, Ido Ferber relies heavily on nostalgia to inform his work; the frivolity of his childhood spent roaming in the countryside. The forms and geometrics of his everyday home objects are also inspired by the artist’s natural surroundings, focusing heavily on imperfections and experimental processes.
For nearly a century, Namiki has perfected its specialised, globally admired Maki-e fountain pens, which are individually handmade by “Kokkokai” – a talented group of Maki-e artisans which assembled in 1931. Using traditional Japanese craftsmanship and age-old techniques such as lacquer work, each writing tool is hand-finished with sprinklings of gold, silver and shells using a Kebo brush.

Masashi Ifuji designs and makes elegant tableware in Nagano, Japan, placing emphasis on form and function. Traditional Japanese techniques such as sawmilling and plant-dyeing are used to create dining pieces, while natural materials including glass-based paint, vegetable oil, and even old objects are essential to create functional shapes and an earthy appearance. Look out for the Italian maple-dyed trays.
Takaoka-born brand Futagami has been creating contemporary brass livingware since 1897. The Japanese foundry melts solid brass into liquid to form tactile objects, from Buddhist altar equipment to chopstick rests. Sand-casted moulds and a crude-cast finish define Futagami’s unparalleled aesthetic, which is renowned for its rich patina that develops over time due to the brass oxidation process.
