As members of the Shigaraki Ware Commercial Association, we invite you to contact us with any questions about Shigaraki ware.
Commitment to Our Products:
The charm of Shigaraki ware lies in the simple texture of the clay and the power of its natural richness. With few painted products, a variety of glazes, and unique processes, including making large pieces, molding, drying, and firing techniques,
Shigaraki ware stands out. It is often described as "one kiln, two clay, three workmanship," showcasing the gradation of fire color produced by the flame. The ever-changing color tones and textures, such as ash-colored and burnt, contribute to the charm of Shigaraki pottery.
Loved for its simple taste and warmth, this tradition is inherited in our products, which are compatible with the life of nature itself and the soil. Handcrafted by skilled potters, each piece reflects their heart and soul.
We hope you thoroughly enjoy the unique taste and character of Shigaraki ware, created by the meticulous craftsmanship of our dedicated ceramic artisans.

HEGE
HEGEHEGE tableware that can be used on an open flame allows you to fry, boil, and cook food without having to transfer it to another vessel, making cleanup and storage smart and complete. It can be used not only for daily meals but also for outdoor use. From instant to full-course meals, it fits beautifully into your emotional daily life.
Commitment to our products:- HEGE was born out of the trust and technology for safe manufacturing that we have cultivated for more than 60 years since our establishment as a manufacturer that applies rust-free surface treatment to metal parts.
- We have applied our technological capabilities, which have cleared the high-impact tests of automobiles and home appliances, to the craft-like daily life tools that you use in your daily life.
Aluminum, a renewable resource, is carefully formed one piece at a time by "hera shibori," a process that requires a technique similar to handwork. The surface is then blasted to give it a sophisticated and austere texture and finished with a thick anodized aluminum film finish that increases surface strength while preventing corrosion.
The moderate thickness and surface finish also resist scratches and scorching, and the heat conductivity is moderately adjusted. Although it looks delicate at first glance, you will be able to enjoy the change in texture like denim as you use it. -
