Mishima Donabe Japanese Clay Pot for 3 to 4 People

The Hana Mishima (Ginpo Mishima) series, with its large floral pattern in a soothing gradation of white and gray, has been a long-standing bestseller for the company since the 1970s. It was first used by professional chefs and continues to be widely loved both in Japan and abroad. Even after more than 20 years of use in restaurants and ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurants), the pots continue to be functional and durable.

All painting is done by hand. It is a masterpiece that people have continued to choose for about half a century.

With a slightly shallow shape, the size of 3.2 L (108.2 oz) is suitable for 3 to 4 people to enjoy donabe dishes. For other dishes such as soups or stews, it may be used for about 4 to 5 people.

This product is compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops, and is safe for use in the oven and microwave. Not suitable for induction cooktops.

GINPO

Founded in 1932 by Ginpo Toki, Ginpo is a renowned producer of Banko ware, a celebrated form of Japanese ceramics from Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, carrying on its tradition through four generations.

Its representative series—Kikka, Hana Mishima, and Sumi-Kannyu—combine refined craftsmanship with modern techniques, embodying both elegance and practicality. The PETARI line, on the other hand, reinterprets Japan’s traditional donabe clay pot for contemporary living, bringing joy to everyday cookware.

Yokkaichi Banko ware

Yokkaichi Banko ware—commonly known as Banko ware—finds its origins in the crafting of ceramics ranging from everyday tableware to flower vases. Today, it is best known for its donabe, or Japanese clay pots, valued for their durability and excellent heat retention. Around 80 percent of all donabe produced in Japan are Banko ware, making them an essential tool for home-cooked meals.
