Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors. - For stains such as tea stains, please use commercially available bleach and rinse thoroughly. |

About the style and atmosphere
Tetsukohiki(Iron-powdered) utensils have a rustic atmosphere and go well with any kind of food. Iron powder appears on the surface as black spots when the iron contained in the clay is fired in the kiln. 
There are some cracks as shown in the photo, but this is one of the characteristics of Shigaraki ware called stone hase. In addition, powdered cloth is water-absorbent and tends to leave stains easily. One of the charms of pottery material is that they tend to change with daily use. Please enjoy the expressions at that time and make it your own.

The rustic texture of the earth is appealing, making full use of the richness of nature. Because they use strong china clay, they are good at making large pottery like raccoon dog ornaments.
