Shigaraki Yaki

Shigaraki Yaki (Shigaraki Ware) from Shiga, one of "Nihon Rokkoyo (Japan's six oldest kilns)", where traditional Japanese techniques are inherited.

Shigaraki Yaki is ceramics made in Shigaraki Town, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture.

The simple texture of the clay evokes the Japanese aesthetic sense of "Wabi-sabi”.
