| Kilnmaker's recommended maintenance | ・Kohiki is water-absorbent and tends to leave stains, so we recommend sealing 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. ・Kohiki items are gentle and expressive items. Because it is water-absorbent, when serving oily foods, soak it in water before use to prevent stains. - After using the utensils, wash them as soon as possible and dry them thoroughly. . Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors. |

Things you should know before purchasing
What creates the expression of a pottery are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products.
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 differences] 
Because each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in shape, size, thickness, etc. [Uneven color/uneven baking] 
Since the glaze is applied one by one by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes]

Furutani Seitosho Koichi Furutani
Born in 1979 in Shigaraki-cho, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture
2004 Started making pottery at Furutani Seitosho Special ``powdered white utensils''
We work hard every day to create ``powdered white utensils'' that bring out the elegance and warmth of any dish. We are also particular about the soil we use, and use our own unique soil for potter's wheel and tatara molding.
The material is molded from red clay, coated with white mud, glazed and fired. To make it comfortable to use and microwave safe, it is not coated with any chemicals or liquid ceramics after firing. Instead, by repeating the firing process called ``honyaki'' twice, the product is made more durable and of a quality that can be used safely in daily life.
Thoughts on items
"The most important time in daily life" It's a time when families gather together to eat dinner and relax while drinking tea or coffee. In order to make that time more fulfilling, we strive to create pottery that can gently be a part of people's lives. “Kohiki” is a white with a gentle expression. It's a simple white that complements any dish and can be used every day. In addition, the gentle, rustic earthiness that appears beneath the surface of the pottery gives it a great depth of pottery. We would be most happy if you could use and enjoy the warmth of our Japanese tableware in your daily life.
