We recommend that you do this. Most water stains disappear when dry, but if used without sealing, oil stains and stains from dark colors such as soy sauce and coffee tend to remain. ・Kohiki items are gentle and expressive items. Because it is water-absorbent, when serving oily foods, soak it in water before use to prevent stains.- After using the utensils, wash them as soon as possible and dry them thoroughly. . Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors.

Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 【Individual difference】 Because each piece is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, and thickness.

During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing.

Furutani Seitosho List Page Furutani Seitosho Koichi Furutani Born in 1979 in Shigaraki-cho, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture 2004 Started making pottery at Furutani Seitosho Special "Kohiki tableware" We work hard every day to create "Kohiki tableware" that bring out the elegance and warmth of any dish. We are also particular about the soil we use, and use our own unique soil for potter's wheel and tatara molding. The dough is molded from red clay, coated with white mud, glazed and fired. To make it comfortable to use and microwave safe, it is not coated with any chemicals or liquid ceramics after firing. Instead, by repeating the firing process called "honyaki" twice, the product is made more durable and of a quality that can be used safely in daily life. Thoughts on items "The most important time in daily life" It's a time when families gather together to eat dinner and relax while drinking tea or coffee. In order to make that time more fulfilling, we strive to create pottery that can gently be a part of people's lives. "Kohiki" is a white with a gentle expression. It's a simple white that complements any dish and can be used every day. In addition, the gentle, rustic earthiness that appears beneath the surface of the pottery gives it a great depth of pottery. We would be most happy if you could use and enjoy the warmth of our Japanese tableware in your daily life. Photo from the artist From a trip around pottery
