Nestled at the foot of Mt. Kokuzou in Ishikawa Prefecture, Kokuzou Kiln creates distinctive pottery rooted in a deep respect for handmade craftsmanship. Its pieces are known for individual forms and warm, tactile surfaces. Among its varied works are kohiki pieces, in which darker clay is coated with white slip, allowing traces of the clay beneath to show through the milky surface. One of the few Kutani ware kilns with an integrated production system, it carries out every stage in-house, from forming the clay to painting and firing.

Made to be enjoyed in everyday life, these pieces find a place at breakfast, during a break at work, or over a shared meal with loved ones. Kokuzou Kiln’s creations are designed to become cherished companions for years to come.
