"KIKOF" is a product brand launched in 2014 by "Mother Lake Products," an organization formed by artisans around Lake Biwa, and "KIGI," a Tokyo-based company involved in various creative activities.

KIGI engages in diverse creative endeavors in Tokyo, while Mother Lake Products represents a collective of craftsmen around Lake Biwa.

Commitment to Products:

• KIKOF ceramics originate from Shigaraki.
• Shigaraki clay boasts a rough texture, simple warmth, and unique characteristics.
• Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, was situated further south than its current location 2 to 3 million years ago.
• Shigaraki ware is crafted from the clay of that ancient Lake Biwa layer.

We employ traditional Bizen pottery techniques, hailing from one of the six oldest kilns in Japan, dating back to the Kamakura period. However, our unique manufacturing method, tailored to modern living, renders the pottery microwavable and ovenproof.

The vessels are meticulously crafted in the image of those used by demons in ancient times.
