Origin
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.
