Traditional arts in modern life
The shape is based on the motif of a quince, which is one of the auspicious crests, and the pattern is carefully drawn. A small bowl that exudes the warmth and sure craftsmanship of handicrafts. 
The flowers and modern lattice patterns are carefully drawn one by one using a traditional technique called ``akae''. Although it is detailed, it is overflowing with the gentle loveliness that can only be achieved by handicrafts. The transparent, slightly bluish white color and smooth, smooth texture are the charms of Arita ware. 
For side dishes and fruits
Serve with pickled cucumber and wakame seaweed. Also great for pickled vegetables and kimchi. You can make a great side dish by simply plating up some of your regular dishes or leftovers. It has a deep depth, so you can use it to cook dishes with a lot of juice, such as boiled dishes and dipping sauces. It would also be cute to add small fruits such as strawberries or grapes. I feel like even the usual simple dishes can be made into a slightly higher quality atmosphere.

| Recommended maintenance by the pottery | ・For overpainted products, avoid using the dishwasher and wash them by hand with a soft cloth or sponge. Doing so may cause red, gold, or silver paint to peel off or darken. ・After using the utensils, wash them as soon as possible and dry them thoroughly. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors. |
| Product characteristics/ Handling precautions |
・As it is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, etc. ・Since the painting and glazing work is done by hand, there may be slight differences in the pattern, color shading, glaze color, and application method. ・Since the soil contains a lot of iron, there may be small light brown or black dots on the surface of the pot, but this does not cause any problem in use. ・Recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture that is unique to handmade products, each with a different look. ・Since it does not absorb water, it is difficult to get stains, mold, etc., and is easy to handle. ・Depending on the age of use, small scratches from forks and knives may become noticeable (especially since olive glaze is soft). ・Prices may be reviewed or revised depending on the artist or pottery. |

Koyo Kiln
1947 Started a kiln in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture
Mainly produces sake items, and later produces general tableware.
2003 Changed the name of the kiln to Koyo Kiln.
Currently 3rd generation (Yosuke Maeda)
We manufacture a wide range of household tableware with simple and soft forms, from indigo-dyed to red-painted and glazed items. We value traditional Arita techniques and aim to create pottery that is compatible with modern life and that both the maker and the user can relate to. ``I want the younger generation to use Arita ware as well.'' Arita ware, which used to be used for special occasions, can now be used on a daily basis. This idea is reflected in the price range and design.

Kiln owner's recommendation for maintenance
-After use, wash the pot as soon as possible, dry it thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odor.
Product Characteristics/Handling Precautions
-There may be pinholes, patterns, and colors may vary.
-The surface of the items may have very small "black spots" or "paint splashes" or "pinholes that do not reach the base of the items.
-This product is recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture of handmade products with a different look and feel for each piece.
-The surface of the glaze may be cracked during use, but this is not a crack or breakage and will not interfere with its use.
-Prices are subject to review and revision by artists and potters.
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.
