Fukui, Japan, home to the woodworkers behind this collection, is named for Fuku-no-I, an old well whose name evokes good fortune. It felt only fitting that a collection of auspicious coasters should be born here.
Each coaster is designed and hand-finished by a certified traditional craftsperson of Echizen Tansu, one of Japan's officially designated traditional crafts, in a workshop with over 100 years of history.
Five motifs, five wishes, each rooted in centuries of Japanese tradition:
Kikkō (hexagon) — longevity and protection, inspired by the tortoise shell
Asanoha (hemp leaf) — healthy, upright growth and resilience
Sayagata (interlocking geometric pattern) — continuity, prosperity, and enduring good fortune
Seigaiha (waves) — peace and good fortune that carries on, wave after wave
Shippo (interlocking circles) — harmony, prosperity, and enduring connections
Crafted from wood for everyday moments at the table, each coaster is as meaningful to give as it is beautiful to keep.
