Bundai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fukuyama, Hiroshima; Representative Director: Fumihito Nakanishi), operating through Shin-Kobi-jutsu Bundai (Location: Fukuyama, Hiroshima; Representative: Shinichiro Tanibe), is hosting the first POP-UP event for its brand 'Kotou Joushu,' which promotes utilizing traditional Japanese ceramics in modern daily life and dining spaces. The event will take place from Sunday, June 21, to Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at 'Space Soul' in Fukuyama.
This event will showcase and sell approximately 800 pieces of antique ceramics from the Edo, Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods. The brand aims to offer a new proposal for 'enhancing the value of food and spaces through tableware' to restaurant, inn, and hotel owners in the Bingo region, as well as individuals looking to enrich their daily dining tables.
■ From 'Antiques' to 'Culinary Performance': A New Way to Enjoy Tableware
Generally, antiques are viewed as objects to be displayed or collected. Kotou Joushu redefines this by treating traditional ceramics as tools that highlight modern cuisine and spaces.
■ Highlight 1: Tableware Proposals for Restaurants and Inns in the Bingo Region
Changing tableware can significantly alter the customer's impression and experience without changing the food itself. Rather than just selling dishes, Kotou Joushu proposes 'creating added value for food and spaces.'
Planned Exhibits:
- Imari-ware Mukozuke and medium plates for appetizers
- Suggestions for seasonal expressions using sake cups and small bowls
- Tableware combination proposals tailored to the restaurant's world view
- Consultations on store installation and space design
■ Highlight 2: 'Everyday Antique Ceramics' for the Home Table
The event will also showcase examples of coordinating modern large plates with antique Imari pieces.
- Mamezara (bean plates), small plates, and soba choko (3,000 yen range and up)
- Unique items that make side dishes and sweets look stunning
- Sake cups and vases that add seasonal color to the table
