This fine-grained granite formed tens of millions of years ago, gaining regional significance when utilized for Takamatsu Castle in 1588 and further developing during the construction of Yashima Toshogu in 1814. Known for its quartz-like hardness, weather resistance, and distinctive blue-tinted appearance with biotite flakes, the stone requires exceptionally skilled local artisans to process. Utilizing this material tradition, the Japanese Aji Stone Table Mirror integrates a solid stone base weighing 1.1 kg, providing natural stability and moisture resistance suitable for tabletop and bathroom spaces. About the Maker: Aoishima and AJI PROJECT Founded by craftsman Chikara Ninomiya in Kagawa Prefecture, Aoishima was established alongside local artisans and community support to share the enduring beauty of Aji stone from Takamatsu City. Driven by a deep responsibility to preserve this historical industry for future generations, Ninomiya teamed up with thirteen local craftsmen and the chamber of commerce in 2012 to launch the AJI PROJECT brand. While Aji stone has traditionally been reserved for large building materials and stone sculptures, the workshop thoughtfully reimagines this premium natural material for contemporary living, transforming regional stoneworking expertise into functional interior items and everyday objects designed to bring the raw elegance of local stone into the home. Refined Utility for Daily Spaces Designed to integrate seamlessly into compact environments, this tabletop mirror brings quiet functionality to a workspace or entryway setting. Its heavy Aji stone base provides steady grounding, making it a natural fit as a side mirror in a bathroom or dressing area where moisture resilience is valued. A magnetic mechanism connecting the mirror and iron sphere allows smooth, fluid angle adjustments to suit various daily needs. With its clean round silhouette and compact footprint, the mirror offers a practical reflective accent that subtlely elevates routine moments without cluttering limited surface area.
