About the style and atmosphere
It has a simple appearance that you will never get tired of, making it easy to pair with any kind of food. The black dots on the outside of the pottery appear on the surface when the iron in the clay is fired in the kiln. 
Differences in color, uneven color, and sagging that occur by chance during firing and hand-molding are the unique charms of handmade products. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter, as no two items are the same.

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.
