History:
Shigaraki, one of Japan’s six fabled pottery and ceramics centres in Shiga Prefecture, possesses a rich history. In the Kamakura era (1192-1333) water and seed jars were crafted. In Muromachi and Edo periods (1333-1868) its’ tea wares and sake bottles were reknowned. Wood fired in “nobori gama” climbing kilns, their ceramics’ natural ash glazes produce startling textures and patterns. Indeed Shigaraki clays contain ‘choseki’ or white stone which means long life!
