SETO-HORI ceramic cartridge is hand-crafted in Japan with precise expertise to achieve maximum fidelity.
Covering the high output voltage MC cartridge engine with SETOMONO ceramic-ware, SETO-HORI suppresses excess vibration of the cartridge engine itself.

Covering high output voltage MC cartridge engine with SETOMONO ceramic-ware from Seto city in Japan, SETO-HORI suppresses excess vibration of cartridge engine itself.

Please look at this beautiful ceramic body. This unique pattern is not drawn directly with a brush, but by the mold. This technique is called HORI-TSUKE, and is one of the art of SETOMONO.

This pattern is designed in the motif of a fishing net, with a wish of netting happiness.

“Kata-Tori” (mold making) and “Yaki-ire” (burning) are key processes for ceramic-ware. After “Yaki-ire,” ceramic ware shrinks a lot, and this is why it had been said that ceramic ware is not suitable for cabinet of cartridge.

JICO created original design cooperating with a laboratory in Seto-city, Aichi prefecture, and studied the shrinkage together with a pottery in Toki-city, Gifu for over two years. Plus, JICO craftsmen finely adjust the product at the last process by hand work, and finally JICO has succeeded in launch of SETO-HORI.

“Micro-ridge diamond tip” has a polyhedral shape and maintain the product quality more than three times longer compared to ordinary styli.
