Something unnamed is about to be born.
"Murm" is a bangle inspired by the budding of life and new beginnings, like a sprout.
Like a sprout emerging from the soil.
A tiny, tiny first cry, not yet a sound.
Perhaps it's a whisper so faint that no one can hear it.
The name "Murm" is derived from the English word murmur and the French word murmure.
Both words mean "whisper."
We superimposed the faintest of sounds, not yet a voice, with the presence of life not yet in form, creating a single shape.
Like preserving small, invisible changes within metal.
The first whisper of something still unnamed.
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. For polished pieces, we apply a surface protective coating. For antique-finished pieces, we leave them unfinished so you can enjoy the material's natural texture.
If you are concerned about cloudiness or rust, gently polish with a cloth for precious metals.
If moisture adheres, wipe it thoroughly before storing.
Each piece is handmade, so lengths and shapes vary. Please note that minor scratches may occur, as the design is intentionally finished with an aged, worn texture.
May cause metal allergies. If any abnormalities appear, stop using it and consult a doctor.
