| Recommended maintenance by the pottery | ・Konahiki 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. ・After using the utensils, wash them as soon as possible and dry them thoroughly. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors. - For stains such as tea stains, please use commercially available bleach and rinse thoroughly. ・Do not use scrubbing brushes as this may cause scratches. |

・As it is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, etc. ・There may be pinholes, and the pattern and color may differ. ・Recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture that is unique to handmade products, each with a different look. ・Penetration (cracks in the surface glaze) may occur during the use process, but this is not a crack or damage and does not affect use. ・Prices may be reviewed or revised depending on the artist or pottery. |
Things you should know before purchasing
What creates the expression of a pottery is things that cannot be seen in mass-produced items, such as spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 【Individual difference】 
The appearance of each piece of iron powder, which looks like a black dotted pattern, is different. [Uneven color/uneven baking] 
Each one has a different color, with some slightly reddish and others dark gray. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes]
〇There are some cracks as shown in the photo, but this is one of the characteristics of Shigaraki ware called "Ishihaze". In addition, some pieces are coated with glaze to make the stone edges less noticeable. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.

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.
