"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.

Established 190 years ago, the lacquer store in Kyoto offers simple and modern lacquerware that seamlessly integrates into contemporary living spaces.

We have numerous overseas customers and will continue to convey the charm of lacquer to the world.

SAKENOSAKANA is a company that designs and manufactures living tools.

We create tools to enhance the drinking experience and dishes that add joy to your drinking moments.

Commitment to products:

• All items from this brand are designed and manufactured in-house.
• We produce these items not only for their practical utility as living tools but also to bring a touch of enjoyment to users' daily lives through innovative ideas.

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.
