This collection collaborated with the Kaizawa sculptural workshop where they have designed and carved a contemporary Ainu motif representing the eyes of the Blakiston Fish Owl, a symbol of protection for the Ainu people.

The Ainu owl motif has been echoed in the Tea Service, an all-in-one white porcelain teaware set that is pleasant to handle and use, offering a new form of versatility for tea lovers. The porcelain has been hand-crafted by specialists from the Veneto region, Italy. less
