These cute little magnetic buttons are made by Meizan Gama, a Japanese ceramics manufacturer founded in 1622 in Koka, Shiga Prefecture. Magnets are inserted in the buttons, allowing you to use these items as small pin cushions when you want to give your needles a rest. They can also be used as paperclip holders or decorative magnets, or even enjoyed as interior ornaments or stationery items that add color to your living space.

Each button is 2.5cm across and comes presented in a lovely gift box. Available in green, yellow, dark grey and blue.

Great care has been put into the application of the glaze and the choice and use of firing methods, so that you can feel the warmth of both the earth and humanity emanate from within these small buttons. Shigaraki ware is distinguished by its earthy charm, which conveys a sense of simplicity and robustness. Its profoundly fascinating look has a connection with the spirit of "wabi-sabi" (the beauty of natural imperfection), and it has produced countless masterpiece tea utensils.
