Discover Shigaraki Ware: A Legacy of Craftsmanship

This exquisite piece proudly hails from Shigaraki Ware (Shigaraki-yaki), one of Japan's revered Six Ancient Kilns. Originating from the Koka City area of Shiga Prefecture, Shigaraki pottery boasts a profound history, characterized by its rustic charm and robust, earthy texture.

The unique clay found in Shigaraki is exceptionally suited for crafting large pottery pieces, historically leading to the production of many hibachi (charcoal braziers). Today, Shigaraki artisans create a diverse range of items, from planters and flower vases to washbasins. Globally recognized, the endearing Shigaraki Ware Tanuki (raccoon dog) statues are beloved symbols of good fortune.

In every curve and detail of this Kohiki Donburi Bowl, you'll find the quintessential warmth of Shigaraki clay, imbued with the masterful skill and dedication of generations of artisans.

A Note on Handcrafted Beauty

Each of our Shigaraki Ware bowls is a unique work of art, meticulously crafted by skilled artisans. As a result, you may observe slight variations in color, texture, shape, and pattern from one piece to another. These subtle differences are not imperfections, but rather the distinctive hallmarks of authentic handmade pottery, celebrating its individuality and charm. We kindly ask for your understanding and appreciation of these unique characteristics.
