never breaks

Tableware such as plates and glasses are made of glass or ceramics, and are easily broken. In Japan, there has long been a tendency to consider breakable items to be inappropriate as wedding gifts, so cutlery that doesn't break easily is now preferred.

Some young people don't place much importance on traditional customs and good luck, but it's best to avoid fragile items as wedding gifts as much as possible.

Not bulky and comes in a wide variety

Another advantage of cutlery is that it is not bulky even when given as a gift. Cutlery does not take up much storage space even when presented as a set, so it is perfect as a gift for newlyweds who are starting their married life in a condominium or apartment complex.

Another big advantage of choosing cutlery as a gift is that there are a wide variety of types and designs, and you can choose according to your budget.

Silver spoon, symbol of happiness

In Europe, a silver spoon has long been chosen as a gift when a baby is born. This is based on the British legend that ``A child born with a silver spoon in his or her mouth will be happy,'' and a ceremonial spoon is also used at the coronation of the British king.

In addition, silver has a bactericidal effect and can detect arsenic and other substances. For this reason, spoons have become established as auspicious gifts.

A knife that “opens up the future”

In the past, knives were thought to be unsuitable as wedding gifts because they were associated with the word ``to cut one's ties,'' but recently knives have been used as wedding gifts to convey the meaning of ``opening up the future.'' More and more people are giving it as a gift along with cutlery. By making a set that includes a knife and is easy to use on a daily basis, you can give it as a practical present that brings good luck.

Due to its auspicious origins and characteristics, cutlery is the perfect gift for celebrations such as marriage and childbirth. Among them, the most popular and recommended ones are original cutlery made by cutlery artists. Each one-of-a-kind piece of cutlery is made with love and is sure to become a memory that will last a lifetime.

At Konohino Dogu Shop, we carry carefully selected brass cutlery created by cutlery artist Hiro Kashihara. With its delicate form and shabby-chic appearance, cutlery will make a cute and delicious addition to your recipient's new daily life.

Another great thing about brass cutlery is that the more you use it, the more its flavor develops, so you can enjoy how it changes over time. This is the perfect gift for someone who is moving on to a new stage in their life.
