What to watch out for when buying on Amazon, Rakuten, etc.

Due to its popularity, HASAMI PORCELAIN is widely listed on Amazon, Rakuten, flea market sites, and other platforms. However, when purchasing, it's crucial to be aware of counterfeit and parallel import products. Be cautious of items sold at extremely low prices or from shops with unclear sellers.

In reality, even if it's labeled "HASAMI PORCELAIN," counterfeit products with different logo stamp positions or textures are circulating. Such products may be prone to breakage or have different color tones than the original, with varying quality. To avoid counterfeits, always check if the seller is official or an authorized retailer.

Also, check if there's a return guarantee and if the product description includes the country of manufacture and seller information.
