[Feature 1] Japanese-made Mikawa ware series. The biggest feature of Mikawa ware is that it is cheap and durable.
[Feature 2: Firing temperature] The firing temperature for Mikawa ware (red and white ware) is usually around 1100°C, but for smoked ware it is around 900°C. Since the temperature is 200°C lower, the clay is less tightly packed than for red ware.
[Feature 3: Finish] Even after firing, there are tiny invisible gaps between the clay that allow air and water to pass through. With red-fired pottery, these gaps disappear as the potter fires, making it hard and durable.

[Product Description]
[Cheap and durable flower pots]
This is one of the greatest features of the Japanese Mikawa ware series.
Furthermore, this flower pot is manufactured using fully automatic molding machines.
The reason it's cheap is because it's mass-produced by machine.
The reason for its durability lies in the difference in firing temperatures.
Usually Mikawa ware, oxidation firing (red firing, white firing)
The firing temperature is around 1100℃.
Terracotta pots and many imported pots have a temperature of around 900°C.
If the temperature is too high, such as 200℃, the soil will become hardened.
Compared to bisque, it is stronger and more durable.
(Even after the clay pot is fired, it remains between the clay.
There are tiny, invisible gaps that allow air and water to pass through.
During red-firing and white-firing, these gaps become smaller as the piece is fired, making it harder and stronger.
Both red-fired and white-fired products have breathability and drainage properties.
[Pot strength, cold resistance] Unglazed, smoked < Red-glazed, white-glazed
[Pot ventilation and drainage] Unglazed, smoked > Red-glazed, white-glazed
It's only a difference of 200 degrees,
Red-fired pots require twice as much fuel as unglazed pots, and the firing time is also longer.
Mikawa ware is made using a lot of fuel and takes a sufficient amount of time.
Please experience the texture that can only be achieved with products made in Japan.
● Product Features ●
■S Pot Akayaki is made in southern Nishi-Mikawa, Aichi Prefecture (the production area of Sanshu tiles).
The biggest features of Mikawa ware are that it is cheap and durable.
■S-Pot Akayaki is made using a fully automatic molding machine,
[Even more durable and long lasting].
■S-Pot Akayaki uses the same plaster mold as the Chrysanthemum Pot, but is fired using a different method.
The story behind the creation of S-Pot was as follows:
We wanted a pot that would allow chrysanthemums to grow in cold regions (chrysanthemum pots have a low firing temperature).
This flower pot was created in response to this request.
■The difference between this and a chrysanthemum pot is whether it is fired by reduction or oxidation.
[Plant Cultivation] Chrysanthemum Pot > S Pot [Durability] Chrysanthemum Pot < S Pot
■The biggest feature of the S-Pot is its cylindrical shape.
The bottom is not narrow so it can hold plenty of soil.
In addition to growing chrysanthemums, I also grow tomatoes, eggplants, etc.
[It's also ideal for growing vegetables].
■It has a cylindrical body type and a large bottom (base of the pot), making it extremely stable.
■The step on the inside is there to allow the pots to be stacked on top of each other.
(Stacking allows for less space to be saved during manufacturing, management, and transportation. Cost reduction.)
■Customers who want to buy the same pots without spending too much money.
This product is especially recommended for customers living in cold regions.
There is a hole.
