Shigaraki　Donburi

Shigaraki ware is one of the Six Ancient Kilns in Japan. It is carefully made by craftspeople in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, who inherited the tradition born from a long history that has continued since the 8th century. The potter’s clay used as raw material is coarse, lightweight, and extremely fire-resistant. It is primarily created by mixing and kneading three types of clay with different properties, which increases its strength and makes it suitable for making large and thick objects. The “Donburi” was made by taking advantage of these characteristics. The extra effort of carving the surface by the unique intuition of Shigaraki ware craftspeople creates a unique rustic and warm texture, by not only making the product lighter but also revealing the unevenness due to the large and small stones inherent to pottery. In addition, when applying the glaze, special scissors are used, and the glaze is applied while carefully spinning the potter’s wheel at different speeds with great care for each product. In Japan, each dish has its own bowl, but this “Donburi” is a multipurpose bowl that can also be used for rice and noodles. It is a reliable and excellent product that allows you to enjoy casual meals and Japanese cuisine readily in a single bowl. 【Country of manufacture】 Japan Shiga 【Dimensions】 Donburi：φ165×H85mm 900ml Paper box：W193×D180×H105mm 【Material】 ceramics
