Shigaraki ware, pottery crafted in Shiga Prefecture.
The design is subdued yet features subtle gold-colored small flowers.
Due to its handmade nature, the texture may vary slightly from piece to piece.
Shigaraki ware is pottery made in the mountain village of Shigaraki Town, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture.
It is one of Japan’s six ancient kilns and has a history of over 1,200 years.
In 1976, it was designated as a traditional craft by the government.
The pottery is filled with various shapes and expressions created by nature and artisans, valuing the “imbalance” with a heart full of sincerity and playfulness from skilled craftsmen.
The term “Hetchomon” (registered trademark) comes from a Shigaraki artisan word meaning “peculiar things.”
Dimensions, colors, and patterns may vary slightly due to being handmade.
