This is a Shigaraki Musashino clay pot, a do nabe from one of Japan's oldest pottery districts.
Shigaraki ware comes from Shigaraki-cho in Koka City, Shiga, one of Japan's six oldest kilns and a recognised traditional craft, made from clay rich in feldspar and quartz and known for a rustic, fire-marked texture. The listing places the do nabe tradition in Iga province; Shigaraki names the maker's district, and the pot carries the heat-retaining, slow-building behaviour every donabe is loved for. The listing tells the do nabe story with the Iga origin: clay pots made from a porous clay that builds heat slowly, like a slow cooker, then holds it once it is hot, the secret behind rice, shabu-shabu and sukiyaki done properly.
A clay pot asks for specific habits: never store leftovers in it, let it cool fully before washing, clean it with warm water and a soft sponge with a rinse before any soap sits, and never leave it soaking, since the clay drinks water and damp clay grows mould and odours. It is not a dishwasher pot.
Most of our products are handmade in Japan, and sometimes the one that you receive maybe slightly different to the photo. This is very common and in no way it will affect the performance of the product.
