Hello, this is Taki from the Uchiru Pottery City Editorial Department.
There are surprisingly many opportunities to give gifts at celebratory occasions, such as when a friend has a child, a family member's birthday, Mother's Day, and Father's Day.
When you think about what the other person will be happy with, you worry a lot.
Tableware is something that is easy to receive and is used every day, so many people choose it as a gift.
There are many different types of tableware, so some people may not know what to choose.
This time, we would like to introduce utensils that are recommended as gifts.
At our store, we recommend Hasami ware as giftware.
There are three reasons:
1. Hasami ware is mostly made of porcelain, making it durable and easy to clean.
2. There are many traditional yet gorgeous things such as painting and dyeing, which are easy to please many people
3. Many items come in boxes, making them easy to give as gifts.
We will introduce recommendations for each occasion, such as wedding gifts, Father's Day, Mother's Day, employment gifts, small gifts, etc., so please refer to them.

Things to keep in mind when gifting tableware
Finally, I would like to tell you what you should be careful about when giving tableware as a gift for a celebration.
If you are not used to giving tableware as a gift or are reluctant to give tableware as a gift, please refer to this guide.
Note 1: Is it okay to use “self-made items” as wedding gifts?
Due to the meaning of "breakable", tableware and glasses are not suitable for wedding gifts.
However, recently it has become common to give gifts such as tableware, so you don't have to worry about it as long as it is something that the recipient will appreciate.
Be sure to convey your feelings of congratulations by choosing lucky charms among the tableware so as not to be rude to the other person.
Note 2: Avoid odd numbers and even numbers.
What you need to be careful about is the number of tableware you gift. Avoid even numbers and numbers such as 4, 6, and 9 as they are bad luck.
However, even among even numbers, there is no problem with numbers that are well separated, such as pairs, 10, 12 (dozen), etc.
Summary
We have introduced Hasami ware that is recommended as a gift for each occasion. How was that.
Hasami ware has a history of over 400 years, but there are many pieces that have been made to fit modern lifestyles, such as unique or modern designs.
I would be happy if you made a new discovery and said, ``There are such cute Hasami ware tableware!''
Please use this as a reference when thinking of a gift that the recipient will be happy with.
Mata Uchiru also sells a lot of Hasami ware other than the utensils introduced this time, so please take a look.
Thank you for reading until the end. I hope you all find good works!
