ABOUT KOISHIWARA-WARE
Koishiwara-ware takes pride in carrying over 300 years of pottery history, making "mingei" humble utilitarian works, using only locally harvested raw material. Up in the remote mountain, potters escavate rocks and minerals to process their own clay and glazes. Everything is hand-thrown and handbuilt. And many use their beautiful surrounding as their inspiration. Their work was praised by Masters Yanagi Muneyoshi and Bernard Leach during the Mingei Movement in the early 1900s as "Functional Beauty". Read the stories about Koishiwara-ware and Yamamaru Kiln.
