● Shigaraki ware is pottery made in Shigaraki Town, a mountain village in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. It is one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns and has a history spanning over 1,200 years. ● It was designated a traditional craft by the national government in 1976 (Showa 51). ● The pottery, with its diverse shapes and expressions born from nature and artisans, is imbued with the sincerity and playfulness of masters who value "imbalance." ● The "Hechimon" (registered trademark) comes from a Shigaraki artisan's term meaning "unusual objects." ● Dimensions, color, and pattern may vary slightly due to the handmade nature of the pottery.
