Kutani Ware: traditional dishes, tea items, and other ceramics from Ishikawa with roughly 360 years of history, known for their iconic five-color palette of glazes. They have been beloved around the world for centuries.

Kashiko was created to connect artists and society. These stationery products incorporate Kutani Ware designs, with a stylish contemporary feel.

Ishikawa is located in central Japan, along the Sea of Japan coast. The capital, Kanazawa, boasts convenient access to and from major cities like Tokyo, and the prefecture is blessed with abundant natural resources. Back in the day of the samurai, the castle town of Kanazawa flourished as a center of traditional crafts and culture — which still live on here to this day.

Unlike tableware, stationery is small and light, so it scales elegantly. Our goal is for this stationery to represent local artists, shared with the world.

Each original design is hand-drawn by an artist, for a delicate beauty ready for a handwritten note as a finishing touch. The cards and clips can be used to attach the notes to flowers or gifts.

A set of message cards and paper clips made of paper, perfect for attaching to flowers or gifts. The cherry blossoms on the cards and clips are depicted in multiple stages of blooming, showing how nature changes over time. The package can stand upright, for use as a decoration in a room.
