This medium sized bowl is a stunning piece of handcrafted Japanese pottery.
Its earthy unglazed finish showcase the authentic aesthetic of traditional Tsugaru ceramics.
The bowl's form, with its broad rim and deep interior, makes it versatile for a variety of uses, whether serving soups, salads, or simply as a decorative piece.

Tsugaru Kanayama Pottery creates pottery that has a unique deep texture by firing slowly and carefully at a high temperature of 1350 ℃. This is called "Yakishime". Each bowl comes with its unique pattern. (See pictures)

With regular use, the colour and texture will develop over time, and it will become increasingly smooth and pleasant to the touch.

Maker / Brand

Tsugaru Kanayama Pottery

Tsugaru Kanayama Pottery is based in Aomori Prefecture, where rich natural clay abounds. Influenced by Sueki (Sue ware), an ancient unglazed pottery from the Kofun to Heian eras, they’ve beautifully revived this technique in the region. Known for its unique deep texture and earthy beauty, their pottery is carefully fired in a wood-fired kiln at a high temperature of 1350°C.

-Characteristics of Tsugaru Kanayama Pottery-
[Sangiri]
The vessels are buried beneath ash allowing fire and air flow on the surface of the vessels and do not get fired directly. Also sometimes the gray and blue colours appear when fired. The condition occurs because of less oxygen.

[Hidasuki]
Straws are placed between pieces to separate each vessels in a kiln. This technique leaves some marks of red straw after firing.

These techniques bring out the original unique texture of the vessels.
Most of Tsugaru Kanayama Pottery are created without glaze. The way Hidasuki and Sangiri appear on each vessel is different. It may have a more worn-out texture than the pictures show.
