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.

The coloured areas are created by applying coarse clay and carving it with a comb. The slightly rough texture of the carved lines and the warm earthy tones beautifully complement the soft white kohiki glaze. The colour expression varies depending on the thickness of the white slip, the position in the kiln, and even the season—ranging from deep brown to greyish hues. As natural materials are used, small iron specks, glaze drips, or tiny pinholes may appear, adding to the individuality of each piece. In the design of this piece, Fuchiara Yokobori loosely translates to “deep, cut edged horizontal lines”.

A large rectangular bowl with soft, gentle curves.Perfect for presenting shared dishes such as stir-fry or pasta, or for single meals such as rice accompanied with meat and vegetables.
