Made in Japan Introduction to Kiyomizu Ware "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 ware" refers to pottery made at the entrance to Kiyomizu-dera Temple on Gojo-zaka. 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.

It is then handcrafted by top Japanese artisans using exquisite techniques to ensure unparalleled quality and meticulous craftsmanship.
