Made of Tobe porcelain, the Cloud Chopstick Rest is hand-painted with traditional Japanese design motifs and variable shapes, in the Sugiura Koubow Studio in Ehime. 

Hari-awase, meaning to join together, is reflective of Aya Sugiura’s whimsical style of tobeyaki. Shaped from tatara (slabs of clay), each piece is one-of-a-kind, and its individual parts are made freehand, showcasing each ceramic ware’s individuality.
