Description
There is a moment before sunrise when the moon still lingers, pale, softened, and almost indistinguishable from the first light of day. The Lunar Dawn Edition emerges from this quiet threshold. Unlike the deeper silhouettes of the main Lunar Collection, this edition explores the gentler side of the lunar cycle: the softened curves, the diffused glow, the clarity that arrives when night begins to lift.
If the core Lunar pieces capture the strength of the moon’s arc, the Lunar Dawn Edition holds its tenderness. It is designed for unhurried rituals: the first cup of tea, a quiet conversation, a moment of stillness before the world fully wakes.

maintenance
Our pieces are made to last, but how you care for them is what gives them soul.
- Dishwasher & microwave safe; gentle cycles are best.
- Avoid metal utensils or rough sponges on the surface.
- After use, rinse and dry softly to preserve the glaze’s depth.
- For light stains, soak briefly with baking soda and warm water.
Inspiration
Objects are not trophies. They are the quiet witnesses to how you live.
In East Asian paintings, the moon rarely appears as a perfect circle. It is often suggested instead, by a curved stroke, a softened edge of cloud, or the way light thins as it leaves the frame. What stays with us is not the whole moon, but its quiet outline against the night.
For the moments when light, shadow,
and the everyday quietly align.
The Artisan Behind
For over three decades, Kyoto porcelain master Mitsutaka Shirakawa has worked almost exclusively in white clay and controlled, minimal silhouettes. His practice is grounded in repetition, small adjustments, and an almost architectural attention to proportion.
