Maker / Brand
Operating in a region where the various steps of pottery crafting are usually split among different studios, Choemon Kiln was among the first to bring the entire process under one roof.
While further honing their skills each day, they also strive to take their potential to new heights by embracing diverse challenges. One of their recent exciting projects is a collaboration with Spanish designer Jaime Hayon on the production of unique creations such as skull-shaped candy jars—one of which is in the collection of the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa.
Crafts
Kutani ware is a pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture, with a history spanning over 350 years. It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of navy blue, red, purple, green, and yellow that are applied to the bold and daring lines. Its long history has evolved through the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of people who have sought innovation while maintaining tradition.

Yunomi Japanese Teacups
Yunomi are a kind of vertical, cylindrical teacup. They are typically used for casual tea times. Because of the large capacity of a yunomi, the area where the tea touches the air is small, so the tea does not get cold easily. They are also suitable for when you want to drink a lot of bancha or hojicha. In sushi restaurants, tea is traditionally served in a yunomi.
