I bought it as a birthday present for my parents. They were very pleased. Something you use every day is more enjoyable if it is fine. It really was good.

(Translated from the original Japanese review)

Colours and patterns beautiful beyond words, a stable form and a good feel in the hand — I like it and use it. As a vessel for everyday use, real affection grows for it.

(Translated from the original Japanese review)

I gave it to friends from abroad who are a couple. Precisely because it is something used daily, I feel I chose a piece whose beauty comes through in its form and colour. They showed it to me the other day, and it really did feel as high in quality as in the photographs.

I gave it to the host family who looked after me when I studied abroad. The colouring, the lavish decoration and the history of the kiln were all very well received. The paulownia box seemed to express its high standing too, and they were interested in that.

A gift from the whole family to my parents-in-law, who reached their 60th birthdays. The real thing is even more refined and full of quality than in the photographs — choosing this was the right decision. It is an option, but they put words we had all thought of together on the paulownia box, and on the free message card they carried the feelings of family members who could not celebrate with us in person, so we were able to make it a one-of-a-kind gift.
