Koishiwara Pottery is made in the Koishiwara district of Higashimine Village, Asakura County, Fukuoka Prefecture.
Among them, Koishiwara district is located in a land of rich nature, surrounded by mountains at an altitude of 1,000 meters.
Blessed with soil suitable for pottery making and trees that provide fuel for climbing kilns, pottery has been produced here for about 350 years.
Koishiwara Pottery is characterized by the "tobikanna" technique, in which the surface is scraped off with a plane, and the "brush" technique, in which the surface is brushed off with a brush.
The patterns on the surface of the potteries are made with techniques such as "tobikanna," which involves scraping off the surface with a plane, and "hakeme," which involves applying a brush to the surface.
The charm of this type of pottery is that it is not flashy, but somehow simple and beautiful, with a warm and comforting feeling.
Currently, there are about 40 successors to the kiln, and they are challenging new styles of pottery while inheriting traditional techniques.
Even within the same Koishiwara Pottery, each kiln has a different style, so you can enjoy Koishiwara Pottery in various forms.
We hope that you will try to feel the warmth of the pottery and the potter's passion when you use it.
