About Shigaraki Ware

Shigaraki ware, originating from Shigaraki-cho in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, is one of Japan’s six oldest kilns, with a history spanning over 1,260 years. Recognized as a traditional craft in 1976, it is known for its rustic charm and fire-resistant stoneware. 

Made from local clay rich in feldspar and quartz, Shigaraki ware develops distinctive hi-iro (scarlet fire marks) and shizen-yu (natural glaze) during firing, giving each piece a warm, earthy texture. Traditional noborigama (climbing kilns) and anagama (tunnel kilns) further enhance its handcrafted character.

During firing, wood ash naturally falls onto the surface, interacting with intense heat to create organic textures and color variations, making every piece unique. Beyond its artistic appeal, Shigaraki ware serves as a versatile canvas for culinary presentations, beautifully complementing both Japanese and international ingredients! More than just tableware, it fosters connections through shared dining experiences, bringing warmth, authenticity, and a sense of harmony to the table.
