About the style and atmosphere
Ontayaki is characterized by its unique geometric patterns created by traditional techniques such as ``Hake-me'', ``Tobiban'', and ``comb drawing(Kushime)''. Nowadays, it is gaining popularity due to its traditional yet somewhat modern design. It is a pottery that naturally blends into modern life while retaining its old-fashioned, rustic charm. 
As you can see in the photo, the differences in the appearance of the patterns, uneven coloring, and sagging that are created by chance due to firing and hand-molding are unique to handmade items. We hope you enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter, where no two are the same.

The warmth of Daigakuimo（candied sweet potato） goes perfectly with the atmosphere of the container. The arrangement intentionally leaves some blank space, so the rustic impression stands out. +‥‥‥‥+

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.
