Shirumakai Deigo Arabesque Pottery Tsuboya Ware Toshin Kiln Yachimun

Dynamic designs typical of Okinawa

This soup makai makes cooking fun just by thinking about what to serve. The gosu and candy-colored patterns stand out against the slightly creamy white background, and just looking at it will make you feel energetic. The two lines drawn in the relaxed arabesque tighten the expression of the pottery. Although Yachimun has a strong image of being heavy, Toshin Kiln is characterized by not being too heavy or thick. The height of the base and the rise of the edges are exquisite, and it fits naturally in your hand. This may be the result of a history of creating everyday pottery that is close to the people who use it.

Can also be used as a small bowl

"Makai" means bowl in the Okinawan language. As the name suggests, it is perfect for making soup. How about the nutritious fishball soup or pork soup with lots of toppings? The round and deep shape is perfect for a small bowl or a bowl for children! The process of creating a menu, such as ``I want to use this pot for this dish,'' seems to be fun. Stacking storage is also OK! It's also a good idea to have one for your family and guests.

About the style and atmosphere

Toshin Kiln strives to create new products while preserving tradition. When setting the fire in the kiln, we offer a prayer: ``Imamarashi Misore'' (please be born). Utsuwa were born with the blessings of Okinawa's nature and the passion of their creators. Please raise them with love. Yachimun is Okinawan pottery that gives you a sense of warmth and a laid-back climate. Yachimun often has uneven glaze application, cracks called intrusions, accumulations of layered glaze, unevenness, and pinholes. Some of the items have potter's wheel marks, as shown in the photo. We hope that you will enjoy the tasteful textures of these handmade pottery, which are not found in mass-produced products. ■Others, list page. Please find your favorite. Toshin kiln list page a>

After Masakazu Soma trained at Ikutoen in Tsuboya, he built a kiln in Nakama, Onna Village, Okinawa Prefecture in 1975. In 1978, the kiln was moved to Zakimi, Yomitan Village. Until now. While preserving the traditional techniques of Tsuboya ware, we continue to create new pieces with the motto of ``always creating something new,'' such as unique red paintings, dyeing, fish patterns, and itchin.
