A single prairie, where the wind blows through.
"Kazesougen" (Wind Prairie) is a form derived from "Spica," a cutlery series inspired by rice ears swaying in the wind.
It features a slender, softly curved handle and hammer marks engraved in the metal.
While inheriting these characteristics, we've applied different hammer marks than those on cutlery to express the movement of wind passing through a prairie.
Like capturing a moment of a prairie swaying in the wind within the small form of a ring. Light sways with the wearer's movements, creating a small landscape on your fingertip.
Artist
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. Polished items have a surface protectant applied. For antique-finished items, we leave them as-is to enjoy the material's texture.
If tarnishing or rust becomes a concern, gently polish with a precious-metal cloth.
If moisture adheres, wipe it thoroughly before storing.
Each item is handmade, so lengths and shapes may vary. Please understand that there may be small scratches, as it is intentionally finished with an aged, worn texture as part of the design.
May cause metal allergies. If you experience any abnormalities, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
