The tongs are like twin comets, flying side by side in the dark universe.
It started as an image that suddenly came to mind while I was looking at an illustrated book of sea urchins and starfish, and before I knew it, it had flown out of the sea and into space.
It is even smaller than Jute's mini tongs, making it a cute addition to any table.
Artist
Hiro Kashihara
I create small supporting characters that quietly hold up the beauty and deliciousness of the table.
My journey into cutlery making began when my wife, who loves cooking, collected beautiful tableware and cutlery. Wanting to create moments that would make her happy and to offer her beautiful tea times, I began making cutlery myself.
Since 2020, I have been working as a cutlery artist, developing a style based on the concept of “Spoon You Nurture,” using materials such as brass and nickel silver that enhance the enjoyment of aging over time.
Today, I see cutlery as a canvas, creating new works by distilling scenes and moments I find beautiful into simple forms.
The artist handcrafts each piece.
There may be differences in texture, color, shape, and size between the photograph and the piece you receive, but we hope you will enjoy each piece's unique character.

| Points to note |
- Moisture can cause rust and tarnish, so be sure to drain thoroughly after washing before storing. Be especially careful not to let highly acidic substances adhere to the glass. Moisture in the air can also cause the glass to become cloudy gradually. If this bothers you, polish it with a cloth periodically.
- Each piece is made by hand. There may be individual differences in length and shape. We have also intentionally created a worn, aged finish. Please note that minor scratches may occur due to the design.
- The tips of the forks and knives are very sharp, so please handle them with care.
- There is a risk of metal allergies. If any abnormalities occur, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
- Hiro Kashihara's works are as delicate as jewelry, so please handle them with care.
