Each piece is thrown on a potter's wheel using the same techniques practiced here for over 400 years.* Within Seto ware, pieces made in the Akazu district are known as Akazu-yaki. Work of this quality, produced with traditional techniques, is certified as a national traditional craft of Japan.* The Rokubei Kiln is among the most representative kilns of Seto Akazu-yaki. It is also known for the matcha tea bowls used at the Japan Pavilion of Expo Milano, and for pieces presented as gifts to delegates of the Ise-Shima Summit.* Oribe (織部) is a lustrous green glaze named after Furuta Oribe, a senior disciple of the tea master Sen no Rikyu, who favored it. The glaze pools in the recessed areas of the piece, deepening into a rich green that gives the surface remarkable depth and character.* Kannyu (crackle glaze) refers to the fine cracks that form in the glaze as the piece cools after firing. These are a feature of the glaze surface, not damage to the clay body. As the piece is used day to day, the pattern gradually shifts and deepens — a process Japanese collectors describe as "nurturing the landscape" of the vessel, and one reason such pieces become so personal over time.Please review all photographs, and message us with any questions.Note: As each piece is handmade, the item you receive may vary slightly from the photographs.■ Shipping* Sent via FedEx or Japan Post, with tracking.* Handling time: Your item will be shipped within 10 business days of confirmed payment.* Expedited shipping (FedEx or similar) is available for an additional USD 5–10.
