Delivering seasonal flowers and matching tableware from potters and artists from all over Japan
"Flowers Playing with Tableware (with CRAFTAL)" is a plan that allows you to enjoy coordinating the seasonal flowers provided by "Hananohi 365days" with traditional craft tableware and flower vases created by potters and ceramic artists from all over Japan, selected by "CRAFTAL." Simply apply and the flowers will be delivered to your desired location, allowing you to begin living with seasonal flowers and tableware.
Enjoy new encounters with tableware professionally selected for you
The tableware and flower vases delivered to you will be selected by professional tableware curators from "CRAFTAL" after a preliminary questionnaire inquiring about your interior tastes and preferred color tones. For this "Flowers Playing with Tableware (with CRAFTAL)" project, we have commissioned potteries and ceramic artists to create original flower vases, offering the added benefit of enjoying unique tableware you won't find anywhere else. You can choose to replace them monthly or after a few months, allowing you to enjoy coordinating them with a variety of flowers. There's no need to worry about space for more and more tableware and flower vases; you can purchase your favorites separately. If you enjoy the same tableware for six consecutive months, we'll gift it to you free of charge. Enjoy a new tableware and flower vases as you coordinate your table with different flowers each month.
Enjoy your time at home with carefully selected containers and beautiful seasonal flowers
We will deliver several types of flowers selected by Hibiya Kadan designers to evoke the season. The first delivery will be in August, and will feature a combination mainly of anthuriums that evoke the tropics. After that, in September we will deliver chic and gorgeous lisianthus, and in October we will deliver a combination of cute mums that evoke the arrival of autumn. At a time when it is difficult to travel or go out for fun, why not enjoy your time at home with flowers that evoke the seasons with their various colors and a carefully selected flower vase?

Introduction to some of our artists
[Oki Makoto]
Oki creates pottery in his studio in Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture. The tableware that Oki creates is often modern and cool, and he creates original pieces such as tableware, matcha bowls, and vases. Her works, which include the unique "Carbonized Border" texture created using the popular carbonization firing process, the vibrant "Color" hues of red, orange, and green, and a diverse combination of silver glaze and carving techniques, are captivating as art that can be felt intimately, and are gaining popularity overseas as well.
[Mayuki Kato]
She is the fourth generation owner of Shingama, a Seto Sometsuke ware pottery manufacturer founded in 1919. While inheriting the techniques of Seto Sometsuke, she continues to create tableware that will add color to your daily dining table with new methods and simple designs rooted in everyday life. The light gosu (a pigment made primarily from cobalt oxide) color on the white base that is characteristic of Shingama conveys the warmth of handmade items, and the dignified blue color is expressed using a firing method unique to the Seto region.
