Add these intricate glass and ceramic pieces sourced from across Japan to your Christmas wish list
With a long-standing history in craft, Japan is best known for its myriad of artisanal offerings that include pottery, textiles, lacquerware, metalworking, bamboo and woodworking, paper-making, and more.
These crafts branch off further into various traditional techniques, each shaped by the way of life, landscape, and climate of its region. However, they all come together to define a distinctive appreciation of beauty that is uniquely Japanese.
Huls Gallery Singapore pays tribute to this quality with its curated collection of fine crafts from around the land of the rising sun. Tucked away in Duxton Hill, it is a tranquil space for appreciating the intricacies of Japanese craft, themed around the ideas of ‘roots’ and ‘touch’.
The former, to educate collectors about the craftsmanship and history behind each piece, and the latter, to allow these customers to interact with and experience the items themselves.
Porcelain from Arita, lacquerware from Ishikawa, as well as wooden bowls, sake glassware, enamelled tea sets are just some of the works on display, produced by over 50 rising craft makers and artists. Each piece is personally sourced by Huls’ founder and CEO Yusuke Shibata, making the gallery’s collection all the more niche and exclusive.
We pick six homeware collections that we love; they're perfect as gifts for the holiday season or to dress up the table for a feast.
