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.

Using gosu, a blue pigment, artisans hand-draw freehand lines on each cup. A glossy glaze enhances the blue tones, creating a smooth, tactile surface. Some pieces may feature subtle pink spots called gohon. Small iron specks, glaze drips, or tiny pinholes may also appear due to the natural materials, adding to each cup’s unique character.

With its generous depth, this bowl is perfectly sized for soup, curry or pasta.
