Marui Pottery Shigaraki Ware Hechimon Pouring Vessel, Ginbaku (White) MR-3-3147

Country of Origin: Japan Shigaraki ware is pottery made in Shigaraki-cho, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. It is considered one of Japan's six ancient kilns and boasts a long history of over 1200 years. The name "Hechimon" originates from a Shigaraki craftsman's term meaning "something unusual." These vessels possess a variety of expressions, much like the diverse shapes created by nature and the individuality of each of us. They are pottery filled with the sincerity and playful spirit of skilled artisans who value "inhomogeneity." Imagining a "pure touch," the simple, flat design and the gentle, paper-like texture are very modern. The slightly translucent material, when held up to the light, subtly reveals the marks made on the potter's wheel. The large, round form, like wine, allows for gentle convection of the poured sake, bringing out its flavor. There may be differences in size, color, and glaze application between individual items and the photographs. Please enjoy these as part of the charm of pottery.
