It was once an ashtray.

The light warms memories.
It was stored away in the back of the shelf,
An ashtray that hasn't been used for a long time.

In the living room of your home, in a room at an inn,
It used to be found everywhere in Japan.

Nowadays, there are few scenes where people can be entertained.
I had almost forgotten its existence.

Once again, we would like to introduce these "tools for daily life."
If a role arises.

Soiro's remake doesn't go overboard.
Just a little effort,
To breathe new life into it.

Turn the ashtray over,
Install a small lamp.
That's all.

That "only" is
It brings out the beauty.

The vessels are placed modestly facing downwards.
Even the patterns on the bottom, which you normally wouldn't see, suddenly come into view.

Modest yet with a definite presence.

Even in places you can't see,
It was imbued with the sincere handiwork of the maker.

Each one has a different shape and color.
Rather than choosing, it's better to "meet" them.

Because no two things are the same,
Every time I see it in my life,
A little special is coming.

It's nostalgic, yet blends quietly into the current space.

With a uniquely Japanese aesthetic,
It gently teaches you that upcycling is possible.

Bring new light to your life.
It was once an ashtray.
