Hissan Pottery

Hissan Pottery is renowned for creating unique and beautiful Shigaraki ware, cherished by chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants both in Japan and internationally. Known for its elegant designs and vibrant colors, the pottery enhances the presentation of any dish.

Founded around 1870, Hissan Pottery is currently led by the fifth-generation owner, Ogawa Kimio. Building on traditional techniques for making tea utensils and flower vases passed down through generations, the kin combines these skills with modern sensibilities to create exceptional stoneware. 

Shigaraki is one of the Rokkoyo, Japan’s six oldest kilns, and has long produced natural ash-glazed pottery that leverages the inherent qualities of its clay. The clay, sourced from the ancient Lake Biwa layer formed 4 million years ago, is renowned for its high quality, fire resistance, and plasticity. This makes it ideal for crafting both large and small items. Even unglazed, Shigaraki ware exhibits a unique charm, making it a beloved choice for flower vases and tea ware.

Shigaraki ware is a representative form of Japanese pottery that allows you to appreciate the natural beauty of the clay, characterized by its warm color and thick, fire-resistant texture.
