Description

Okuizome is a traditional custom dating back to the Heian period in Japan. It is typically observed around 100 days after a baby’s birth, coinciding with the emergence of their milk teeth. During the ceremony, the “foster parent” presents chopsticks near the baby’s mouth symbolically, wishing for longevity and a life free from worries about food. In the past, formal tableware used for Okuizome included high-legged meal trays adorned with lacquerware. However, modern preferences lean towards durable tableware suitable for everyday use.

Okuizome by Amabro originates from Hasami-cho, Nagasaki Prefecture. This 8-piece set of Hasami ware includes a rice bowl, soup bowl, flat plate, jar bowl, Fuji small plate, chopstick rest, chopsticks, and a paulownia box. The lid of the paulownia box doubles as a celebratory tray, offering both practicality and cultural significance.
