About the style and atmosphere
Koishiwara ware is characterized by its unique geometric patterns created by traditional techniques such as ``hakeme'', ``tobiki plane'', and ``comb painting''. It was highly praised by Bernard Leach, who had a great influence on the Japanese ceramics world, calling it ``the pinnacle of practical beauty.'' Nowadays, it has become even more popular due to its traditional yet somewhat modern design. It is a vessel that naturally blends into modern life while retaining its old-fashioned, rustic charm, and is a true example of the beauty of use.

Koishiwara ware
This is a historic kiln that was opened in Toho Village, Fukuoka Prefecture over 300 years ago. Its most distinctive feature is its unique geometric patterns such as ``hake-me'', ``tobikanna'', and ``comb-drawing（kusime)''. It is popular for its orderly yet simple texture that gives you the warmth of handiwork, and has become a familiar item for everyday use. With the folk art movement that began in the early 20th century, its existence was once again attracting attention, and the world-renowned British potter Bernard Leach praised it as ``the pinnacle of practical beauty.'' Onta-yaki in Hita City, Oita Prefecture, where the same technique has been passed down, is a sister kiln to Koishiwara-yaki. +‥‥‥‥+

What you need to know before purchasing
-The charm of handmade items lies in the fact that no two items are exactly alike, with pinholes, penetrations, distortions, and the like, and that the colors, size, and shape of each piece vary slightly from one to another.
-The coloring, size, and shape of each piece is slightly different, and the charm of handmade items lies in the fact that they are not exactly the same.
-The finish is relatively uniform, but because it is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, color, and so on. Uneven color/uneven firing Because the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. The firing process is also uneven because the temperature varies depending on the firing location in the kiln.
