● Shigaraki ware is pottery made in Shigaraki Town, a mountain village in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. It is one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns and has a history spanning over 1,200 years.
● It was designated a traditional craft by the government in 1976 (Showa 51).
● The diverse shapes and expressions of Shigaraki ware are the product of nature and artisanship, and are filled with the sincerity and playfulness of masters who value "imbalance."
● The "Hechimon" (registered trademark) name comes from a Shigaraki artisan's term meaning "unusual objects."
