Marui Seito Shigaraki Ware Hechimon Bowl, Kuroiso, MR-3-3472

Country of Origin: Japan Shigaraki ware is pottery made in Shigaraki Town, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. Counted one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns, it boasts a rich history spanning more than 1,200 years. The name "hechimon" comes from a Shigaraki artisan's term meaning "unusual objects." These vessels, each with a unique expression, reflect the diverse shapes created by nature and the individual personalities of each of us. They are imbued with the care and playfulness of masters who cherish "inhomogeneity." The vibrant white finish, applied with a brush, resembles waves crashing on the shore and the resulting spray, creating a highly symbolic design that evokes a Japanese aesthetic. Individual pieces may differ in size, color, and glaze finish from those shown in the photograph. Enjoy the unique flavor of pottery.
