About us

Studio1156 in Fukuoka JAPAN

We offer a wide selection of ceramics - primarily Arita, Hasami and Imari ware - carefully curated from Japan and abroad, in a variety of styles and sizes to suit every taste.

Shop

Our shop is located in Fukuoka, Japan. It’s a very small shop, but we are often praised for the wide variety of items we offer for both individual customers and businesses.

Studio1156 is named after our address in the 'Haruyoshi' area. In Japanese, ‘1156’ can be read as ‘EE-koh-roh’ - meaning ‘a good time’ or ‘just the right moment’. We hope you’ll drop by whenever the timing feels perfect for you!

For travelers who shop with us, we always provide secure packaging to protect your items during your journey.

Our Packing Policy

To all travelers who shop at our store, and to customers placing orders from overseas:

Our packaging manual is designed to offer stronger protection than standard bubble wrap. To prevent any contact or friction between plates, we always place thick cushioning material between each one. The plates are then wrapped securely in white paper to keep them in place, followed by additional layers of thick protective material to be protected any damages from all directions. We also check again to make sure there is no shifting, and apply firm pressure to complete the wrapping.

For international shipping, we use extra-thick outer cartons. We place padding and cushioning at the bottom of the box, and after packing, we shake the box in all directions to confirm there is no movement before sealing it.

We are committed to minimizing the risk of damage during transit, and continue to improve our packaging to bring the breakage rate as close to zero as possible!
