"About Kyoto ware and Shimizu ware" In
Kyoto, which has long been the center of Japan cuisine and tea ceremonies, Utsuwa has also achieved extraordinary development. Exquisite painting is applied to every corner, bold layers of glaze give a sense of the majesty of nature, but unexpected patterns and color combinations spark the imagination. In order to meet the diverse needs of the discerning townspeople, chefs, and tea masters of Kyoto, the craftsmen have drawn the potter's wheel with their own hands and lavished their skills and wisdom to create ceramics with various expressions. At the same time, a unique form of production was built in which several processes were repeated while going back and forth between the kilns many times. Kyoto's unique ceramics "Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki" that were born in this way have been designated as traditional crafts by the national government, and are still widely used to color the culinary landscape of Japan.
"History of Kyoto Ware and Kiyomizu Ware"
Kiyomizu ware is a pottery in Kyoto, and the name "Kiyomizu" comes from the fact that it was baked in front of the gate of Kiyomizu Temple. Eventually, the number of potters increased outside the area around Kiyomizu-dera Temple, so they came to be collectively called "Kyoto ware and Kiyomizu ware".
Production of Shimizu ware began in the Momoyama period, and in the early Edo period, Nonomura Ninsei, who is said to be the founder of Kyoto ware, perfected brilliant and elegant colored pottery. Kenzan Ogata, who was taught the pottery method, further created his own style of pottery and established a heyday. (* Ogata Inuiyama's older brother, who is five years older, is Ogata Korin, a well-known Rinpa magnate.)
In the latter half of the 18th century, in the Edo period, Okuda Eisen succeeded in producing the first porcelain in Kyoto, and revived the first Kuresu red painting and cross-hanging ware in the late Ming and Qing periods. After that, many potters produced their own old dyeing and red paintings, and in this way, many talented master craftsmen created their own designs and techniques, and Kyoto became a mecca for Japan ceramics.
Delicate and graceful Shimizu ware with thin construction and beautiful design by advanced rokuro technique. Even now, after the changes of the times, it is still highly regarded as high-quality ceramics backed by the culture of Kyoto.

"Handling of Kyoto ware and Shimizu ware" Among the
pottery, there are porcelain (stone) and pottery (earthenware). Pottery is rich in water absorption and breathability, and the longer you use it, the more taste and texture will appear.
How to use it wellIf you
soak it in lukewarm water before using it and soak the fabric with water in advance, it will be difficult for tea stains and stains to stick.
Pottery is water-absorbent, and if it is left to absorb dirt along with moisture, it can cause mold to develop. After use, rinse with clean water and dry well before storing.
Pottery has a coarser grain of fabric than porcelain, so please handle it with special care.
About colored ceramics Please
avoid using colored ceramics with color paintings, gold and silver paints in high-temperature utensils such as microwave ovens. Doing so may cause the glaze to dissolve or the color painting to peel off.
The chromatic color may oxidize and discolor over time. If it darkens, you can lightly polish it with a special polisher or eraser to revive its beauty. Avoid using bleach.
Please note that
cross-toe glaze products may be damaged by sudden changes in temperature, such as sudden pouring of hot water. Avoid prolonged
contact with foods with strong acids such as pickled plums and foods with strong salt content such as salt kelp. Doing so may cause discoloration or deterioration.
About penetration
