The Unveiling of Sweet Hirado

200 years ago in Hirado, the reigning Matsura family had a scroll made. Decorated with 100 different sweets, it was called the Encyclopaedia of 100 Sweets. if you look careful at the sweets on the scroll you will not see an old,

but a new, innovative and creative world influenced by far away countries. This encyclopaedia was the inspiration to create a new chapter in the local culture of Hirado and to connect it with the world again.

Dutch creators were invited for a new project: Sweet Hirado.

Before presenting Sweet Hirado in the Netherlands and Europe in 2017 a special presentation will be hold in Hirado with cooperation from the 41st generation of Matsura family and

the two Dutch designer teams INA-MATT and Roosmarijn Pallandt. The 24 sweets and the accompanying plates and other Mikawachi porcelain tea ceremony items that were created for Sweet Hirado will presented

in the form of a newly created Dutch Tea ceremony.

The history, present and future. This moment will bring them together and form the start of a new story. We hope you can be part of it.
