The Lucky Pillow Hashioki chopstick rest is shaped and dipped like a traditional, Japanese takamakura, neck rests once used by samurai and nobility to keep hairstyles in place as they slept. Its white porcelain is dappled with flecks indigo-blue, giving it a soft, organic appearance. Each one is different.

Mino-yaki, believed to be the oldest form of artistic pottery produced in Japan, dates back to the Nara Period 710-794. Produced in the old Mino Province, in present-day Gifu Prefecture, it became popular for traditional tea ceremony vessels. Today, the styles of Mino-yaki are as varied as they are beautiful — from the warm rustic glazes of hand-thrown traditional Kiso Seto, Black Seto, Shino and Oribe ware to the soft pastels of modern tableware.
