Unconventional beauty, unconventional beauty

By using Iga clay and firing at high temperatures, a unique look is created through natural glazes and kiln changes.
It is highly fire-resistant and is loved as a pottery material suitable for use in clay pots.
The history of Iga ware dates back approximately 1,200 years, and flourished alongside the development of tea ceremony culture.
In particular, there is a traditional beauty known as "exceptional beauty, beauty of unconventional harmony," which gives off a unique sense of wabi-sabi.
