Simple appearance
This is a shallow bowl made of flour that gives you the warmth of the earth.
The sharp silhouette from the edge to the height is impressive. By applying white mud to the base, adding color, and
then applying glaze, it creates a unique texture with a subtle gray tinge. The black spots that appear and disappear
here and there are charming. The texture makes it easy to match with other pottery, making it fun to think about table
coordination. The warm and gentle white is not overpowering and will blend gently into your daily dining table.
For side dishes and dessert plates
It has just the right amount of depth, so it's great for juicy dishes such as dipping green vegetables and vinegared
dishes. It's great not only with Japanese food, but also with Western-style side dishes such as pumpkin salad and
marinated tomatoes.
Perfect for serving as a dessert bowl, serving ice cream, fruit, or sweets such as kudzu mochi. You can also stack
them, so it's a good idea to have one for your family and for guests. This is an excellent container that can be used
in a variety of situations in everyday life.

| Recommended maintenance by the pottery |
・Kohiki is water absorbent and tends to leave stains Due to its nature, we recommend that you seal it before
use. Most water stains disappear when dry, but if used without sealing, oil stains and stains from dark colors
such as soy sauce and coffee tend to remain. ・If you soak it in water for a while before use, it will prevent stains from getting in. ・After using the container, wash it as soon as possible, dry it thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. 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
It has a simple design that you will never get tired of, and an atmosphere that is not overpowering and blends
naturally into your everyday dining table. Because kohiki is water-absorbent and tends to leave stains, we recommend
that you seal it before use. Most water stains disappear when dry, but if used without sealing, oil stains and stains
from dark colors such as soy sauce and coffee tend to remain. One of the charms of powdered fabrics is that they tend
to change with daily use.
Some of the items shown in the photos are also included. Differences in color, uneven color, and sagging that occur by
chance due to firing or hand-shaping create a unique texture unique to pottery. 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.
