Born from Earth.Shaped by Time.
Shigaraki ware is not just pottery -- it is a reflection of silence, imperfection, and the hands that shape it.
In every curve, every texture, lies the quiet oul of Japan -- forged in fire, cooled by time, and touched by nature.
From the hills of Shigaraki, we work with family-run kilns and contemporary artists to bring honest clay work into everyday life. You may notice feldspar “freckles,” soft warps, and a glaze that settles like morning fog—marks of clay, fire, and time rather than mass production.
We curate in small batches, kiln-direct. Each piece includes its maker and origin, packed with care for long journeys. We offer worldwide shipping, clear customs guidance, and multi-currency checkout so Shigaraki can live in your home, wherever you are.
Our values are simple: authenticity over polish, longevity over novelty, relationship over trend. We pay fair prices, document processes, and choose materials and packaging with minimal impact—so the value you hold is not only in the object, but in the way it was made.
Shigaraki ware is meant to be used: to warm tea, to hold flowers, to greet at your door. It will change with you—gaining sheen where it is touched, quieting where it rests. When needed, we share care guides and can introduce repair artisans so a loved piece stays in your life.
We are a bridge between clay and table, between kiln smoke and city light. Find the cup you’ll reach for every morning, the planter that makes your window feel like a field, or the tanuki that keeps watch with a smile. Welcome to Shigaraki—born from earth, shaped by time.
