正常价格 ¥202.58
Awaji Island in Hyogo is one of Japan’s leading producers of kawara, traditional roof tiles made from the island’s rich clay. This flower-motif Awaji Kawara Magnetic Needle Rest with Needle Polisher is crafted by the artisans of Irakato.
Awaji Kawara has a history dating back to 1610, beginning with tiles made for Japanese castles and later expanding during the building boom of the Edo period. This piece is a glazed, kiln-fired ceramic tile; its colourful glazes give each needle rest a unique look.
A magnet embedded in the ceramic keeps your sewing needles secure while you work. It also includes a built-in needle polisher. Simply insert the needle tip into the side hole, then pull it out while pressing upward on the base. Polishing helps the needle glide more smoothly through fabric.
