This is a fruit fork from the “MODERN WABI SABI” series, characterized by a fusion of traditional and stylish ambiance. It is crafted in Tsubame-Sanjo, a region that accounts for 90% of domestic metal utensil production in Japan.
This elegant and high-quality cutlery is designed by Nishida Yuca, a ceramic artist from Arita ware. The handle features a tasteful cracked pattern that reminds one of Japan’s beautiful traditional earthen walls.
Made from 5 mm (0.2 in) stainless steel square material, this fruit fork is sharper than the average fork, yet has a solid and luxurious feel.
This item is perfect not only for daily use but also for entertaining guests or as a thoughtful gift for someone special.
This series was created by Arita ware ceramic artist Yukari Nishida during her stay in Italy, inspired by the 20th-century Italian painter and sculptor Alberto Burri. By combining the Japanese notion of “beauty in imperfection” as introduced by Wabi Sabi with a contemporary twist, this concept presents a distinctive technique known as “Modern Wabi Sabi.”
