Departing from conventional Tokoname ware designs, we hope to showcase this traditional craft from a different perspective.
The clay used is a blend of the red clay typically used for Tokoname teapots and "Ko-Tokoname," a clay with a century-long history that has been harvested in Tokoname since the beginning.
The pieces were crafted by Yamagen Toen, a kiln in Tokoname that has long preserved advanced ceramic techniques.
The glaze is Yamagen Toen's original "Kurokinsai" (black-and-gold glaze).
As each piece is glazed by hand, slight variations in the finish are to be expected.
We invite you to bring home a one-of-a-kind piece with truly rare value.
