Two comets, nestled close, journeying through the dark cosmos.
"Twin Comets" is a design inspired by this very scene.
It began as a shape resembling a marine creature, which came to mind while looking at an illustrated book of sea urchins and starfish.
However, as I sculpted and gazed at the form, it transcended the ocean and, at some point, journeyed into space.
Born as a mini-tongs, "Twin Comets" has now taken on a new form as a bangle.
Two streams of metal overlap on the wrist, much like two celestial bodies poised to trace each other's orbits.
From tool to adornment.
From a shape for use to a shape for wearing.
When the same form inhabits a different body, a new story is born.

Hiro Kashihara
I create small supporting characters who quietly uphold 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.
Texture, color, shape, and size may differ between the photograph and the piece you receive, but we hope you enjoy each piece's unique character.

| Notes |
We use materials that age easily, such as brass, nickel silver, and silver. We coat polished pieces with a surface protector. For antique-finish pieces, we leave the material in its raw state to highlight its natural texture.
If tarnishing or rust is a concern, gently polish with a polishing cloth for precious metals.
If moisture adheres to the product, wipe it thoroughly before storing.
Each piece is handmade, so length and shape may vary. Please note that designs intentionally featuring an aged, well-worn texture may have minor scratches as part of the design.
Metal may cause allergic reactions. If you experience any abnormality, stop using it and consult a doctor.
