The Legacy of Shigaraki Ware

Shigaraki ware is celebrated as one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns, with its primary production centered around Koka-gun in Shiga Prefecture. Historically renowned for crafting large ceramic pieces such as hibachi (charcoal braziers), modern Shigaraki artisans now produce a diverse range of items, including planters, vases, and washbasins. Perhaps most famously, the iconic Shigaraki tanuki (raccoon dog) statues are recognized and cherished across Japan and around the globe.
