Iron powder appears on the surface as black spots when the iron contained in the clay is fired in the kiln. There are some cracks as shown in the photo, but this is one of the characteristics of Shigaraki ware called stone hase. There are also some areas where you can see a slight reddish color called gohonte. Kohiki is water-absorbent and leaves stains easily.
