Shigaraki ware is pottery produced in Shigaraki Town, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. It is counted among Japan's Six Ancient Kilns and is said to have a long history spanning over 1,200 years.

The name “hechimon” originates from the Shigaraki artisans' term meaning “things with a peculiar shape.” These vessels possess diverse expressions, much like the varied forms created by nature and the unique personalities of each of us. They are ceramics brimming with the sincerity and playful spirit of skilled artisans who cherish “imperfection.”

Made from Shigaraki's signature coarse, porous clay. The porous Shigaraki clay absorbs moisture and regulates humidity, maintaining an ideal environment. Ideal for small-quantity storage and space-saving. A compact size perfect for tables and other surfaces.

Please note that each piece may vary in size, color tone, and glaze application from the photos. We invite you to appreciate these variations as part of the charm of ceramic art.
