Bubbles are born, touch, and eventually disappear.
"Paomo" is named after the Chinese word "泡沫 (pàomò)."
泡沫 means bubbles, foam, and things that are fleeting and easily disappear.
Cells, egg sacs, nerves, breath, nests.
Countless small structures appear in the activities of life.
And the structures of society that surround us, like human relationships, communities, and filter bubbles.
We overlaid these seemingly disparate things through the image of bubbles.
Though each is small and fragile, together they form one large structure.
In this image, we feel a connection to both life and society.
"泡沫" originally emerged as a theme for abstract paintings created by hammering brass plates.
This time, we've transformed that image into a wearable form.
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.

| Precautions |
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.
If moisture adheres, wipe thoroughly before storing.
Each piece is handmade, so there may be individual differences in length and shape. Please note that small scratches are part of the design, as pieces are intentionally given an aged, well-used texture.
May cause metal allergies. If any abnormalities appear, please stop use and consult a doctor.
