Gentle touch

A soup cup with a sharp striped pattern. The stripes that extend from the bottom to the mouth are impressive. You can feel the warmth of the soil from the spots scattered on the surface. It has a smooth and comfortable texture that fits comfortably in your hands. It has a moderate weight and a sense of stability, so it can be used as a standard pottery.

Shigaraki ware

This ceramic is produced around Shigaraki-cho, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, and is one of the six oldest kilns in Japan. 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.
