The elegant Hoshi coaster - Japanese for star - made of solid brass protects your table and also impresses as a design object, sure to leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Over time, the color of the metal changes due to oxidation: the longer brass objects are used, the richer and finer the surface becomes.

Hiroshima-born designer and architect Masanori Oji designs timeless objects for everyday life using traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

The Futagami brass foundry was founded in 1897 in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture. In Japan, brass was primarily used for metal fittings in furniture making, architecture, shipbuilding, handicrafts, and Buddhist altar furnishings.
