Made in Japan Introduction to Kiyomizu-yaki: "Kyo-yaki" is a type of pottery that originated in the tea ceremony and spread primarily in the foothills of Higashiyama since the early Edo period. On the other hand, "Kiyomizu-yaki" refers to pottery made at Gojo-zaka, the entrance to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Currently, all pottery made in Kyoto is called "Kyo-yaki/Kiyomizu ware." This type of glaze, known as crystalline glaze, is characterized by crystal precipitation during the melting and cooling process. Beautiful flower-shaped crystals (hanakeshou) on the surface of the pottery appear as if flowers have bloomed. Most importantly, the crystals enlarge and take on various shapes, and no two patterns can be made alike, making each piece a unique work of art. Ourlittlezone, a specialty store for Maneki-neko (lucky cat) and Daruma dolls, established in 2018, also offers online shopping services. It is beloved by local and overseas customers. Since 2021, we have collaborated with the Kiyomizu ware workshop in Kyoto to launch original Maneki-neko and Daruma doll ornaments. Each piece is independently developed by Ourlittlezone, from pattern design to mold making, infusing it with the brand's unique creative spirit. It is then handcrafted by top Japanese artisans using exquisite techniques to ensure unparalleled quality and meticulous craftsmanship. Our design inspiration comes from the fusion of Chinese and Japanese cultures, incorporating the essence of the Japanese Maneki-neko... The art of combining fluid elegance with the Zen philosophy of Bodhidharma creates artistic treasures that blend artistic flair with auspicious symbolism. Each piece is not only a symbol of good fortune and prosperity but also carries blessings for a better life. With innovation at its core, we break through the framework of traditional mascots, imbuing each piece with a unique story and emotional connection, aiming to bring happiness and joy to every corner of life. Let Ourlittlezone's blessings accompany you, illuminating every moment of your life! [Image URL: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54550786766_88983a25ac_b.jpg&width=1000]
