KIKOF ceramics were born in Shigaraki
Shigaraki clay has a rough texture, simple, warm, and unique. Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, was located further south than its present location 2 to 3 million years ago. Shigaraki ware is made from the clay of that old Lake Biwa layer.
Our company is located in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, which is famous for its Arita ware.
The history of Arita ware dates back to the first discovery of raw materials for ceramics in Japan. The year 2016 marks about 400 years since its birth.
Arita ware is said to have once influenced Europe as a gift to the Shogun family, and to have been treasured as a collection of princes and nobles.
We will work to create new Arita ware suitable for the current era by taking advantage of modern new technologies while preserving our traditions.
It has also been patented in Japan and the United States.

more trees is a forest conservation organization headed by Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto.

The products of "more trees" are designed by product designers, architects, designers, and artists who are active in Japan and abroad.
Wood from the "more trees forest" is effectively used as raw materials, and a portion of the sales proceeds are used for forest conservation activities.
We make products using apple trees, which are rare in the world.
We do everything from logging to sawing and processing in-house.
Commitment to products
The city of Hirosaki in Aomori Prefecture is the top apple producer in Japan.
It is an apple tree that brings us bounty every year, but when it is done with its role, the rest, mostly for firewood, is disposed of. This is because the material can not be removed to be used as wood, and there are many milestones that require much work to process.
The apple trees we use are all done by ourselves, from the plantation to the cutting, sawing and drying. We can only use 50% of them, but we put a lot of effort into making them as a local resource and because we want to introduce the unique texture of apple trees.
