The movement of a hand wielding a hammer.
"Gestures" are bangles born from the unique hammer marks and the power of the hand left behind in each one.
Various hammer marks are etched into the metal surface.
Marks of strong strikes.
Marks of light touches.
Marks etched in succession.
Although the same action seems to be repeated, each strike creates a slightly different expression.
This means that not only the finished form, but also the physical movement of wielding the hammer itself remains in the metal.
Furthermore, by layering several slender bangles, the design is intended to enhance the presence of the wrist itself.
Overlapping metal and countless traces etched into it.
Light sways with the moving hand, and each gesture appears and disappears on the wrist.
The name "Gestures" embodies movements, actions, and the traces they leave behind.
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. We apply a surface protective agent to glossy pieces. Pieces with an antique finish are left in their natural state to highlight the material's texture.
If you are concerned about cloudiness or rust, gently polish with a cloth for precious metals.
If moisture adheres, wipe thoroughly before storing.
Each piece is handmade, so length and shape may vary. Please note that small scratches are part of the design, as the pieces are deliberately finished with an aged, used texture.
This product may cause metal allergies. If any abnormalities appear, stop using them and consult a doctor.
