Collection: SHIRASAGI

The original brand of potter Keiji Tsuchiyama, Tou Tsuchiyama. The first generation of pottery was established in Higashiyama, Kyoto, by the first-generation potter from Terai, Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture, in the Taisho Era (1912-1926) and has continued for three to five generations.

Since the first generation, the kiln has specialized in underglaze blue and red porcelain. The pottery has earned the trust of the pottery industry for its precise work in Shozui, landscape, flower-and-bird, and other designs. Tsuchiyama has been producing beautiful and easy-to-use vessels based on this tradition.

Our pottery is not monotonous, heavy pieces made by mold making or machine crocheting. Our "usuzukuri" vessels are handmade using Kyoto Kiyomizuyaki techniques and are comfortable to hold in the hand. Our pottery is easy to use, suitable for any kind of food, and pursues beauty.

Into a world of colors where no two are alike

Colors change with time [lacquer ware like a plant].

[YUIYU is a brand of interior goods that combines the 450-year history of Yamanaka lacquerware with a floral designer's perspective. The unprecedented coloring of lacquerware and plant-inspired shapes add color to your life in a high-quality way.

Commitment to our products
Lacquerware that looks like a plant" was conceived by a floral designer.
The model for this lacquerware was an organic shape like a plant. The wood of Yamana Lacquerware, which is known as the best in Japan, the technique of rokuro-hiki (turning on a wheel), and the technique of nuki-urushi (wiping) lacquerware have created a product with a strong sense of presence.
As it ages, it slowly becomes more colorful, like a flower opening its buds.

As a vessel, as interior decoration, or as miscellaneous goods. It is a free lacquerware that does not fit into any one category. By adding a floral designer's perspective to the traditional craft of Yamanaka-nuri, we have expressed flower-like curves, delicate stripes, and the budding of bulbs.

● Spotlight on the craftsmen who support behind the rim.
[YUIYU] products are the work of many people who are not visible to the public, such as those who grind the wheel, refine the lacquer, apply the undercoat, and wipe off the lacquer. Although Yamanaka Lacquerware's craftsmen work under a division of labor, they communicate with each other and have always been flexible in their approach to paving the way for the future. We are committed to passing on such new sensibilities to the next generation. By highlighting the people involved in these processes, we aimed to create a timeless traditional craft that will be loved by all generations.

Nekkodo Founder
Atsuo Shibata Atsuko Shibata
She has worked as a nurse for 24 years. 2014, she was diagnosed with parotid cancer (adenoid cystic carcinoma) and experienced surgery and chemoradiotherapy. Through these experiences, she realized the barrier of eating. She also learned that interaction with others in the same situation can be a source of support for living. She decided to start her own business to support the idea that "to live is to eat, and to eat is to live. I would like to update society with the values I have realized through my cancer experience.
