Texture that sticks to your hands

This is an attractive mug with a calm color and a tasteful texture. The sparkling appearance on the surface is due to the crystallization of the glaze. Depending on how the glaze is applied, each piece has a different look. The chic color, which looks black or dark gray depending on the light, will definitely enhance your table coordination.

A texture that makes you want to say "hey"

It is small enough to fit perfectly in a woman's hands. The stubby handle is large enough to hold your index finger. It feels like you're "pinch" the handle between your index and middle fingers. This is surprisingly easy to hold, and contrary to its heavy appearance, I was surprised at how light it lifts. It seems to go well with scenes like brewing your favorite flavored coffee and relaxing with a book.

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.

What you need to know before purchasing

-The appearance of items is created by spots, blurs, unevenness of glaze, shading, and deflection of shape, which cannot be found in mass-produced items.
-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.
