Shigaraki ware has a long tradition of being fired in noborigama (climbing kilns) and anagama (wood-fired kilns) at high temperatures over extended periods. Each piece is shaped, dried, and fired by artisans who carefully read the flow of flame, humidity, and the character of the clay—creating work in harmony with nature. No two pieces are ever exactly alike.

Aratetsusen loosely means “rough iron line”. The softly tinted areas may vary from grey to warm orange or pink tones. As natural materials are used, you may notice small iron specks, glaze drips, or tiny pinholes—unique marks that express the individuality of each piece.

With its rounded form and gentle two-tone colour, this tonsui bowl brings a warm, inviting touch to the table. Perfect for serving salad, snacks, or soup, it’s a versatile piece.
