Shigaraki-yaki ware is a stoneware produced mainly in Shigaraki, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, and is an intermediate type of ware between ceramics and porcelain. Shigaraki ware is characterized by the color and texture created by the gradation of flames, and has been loved for a long time for its simplicity and "wabi-sabi" taste. In the late Muromachi period (1333-1573), with the popularity of wabi-cha (tea ceremony), Shigaraki ware became popular among tea masters and was used as tea utensils. Due to the high firing rate in the traditional climbing kiln, the surface is unglazed with a reddish-brown burnished finish that allows you to enjoy the fire color, and it is comfortable in your hand along with the texture of the Shigaraki clay. Fired at a high temperature, the quartz mixed with the clay melts out and blows up, creating the scenery known as "Ishi-haze" or "Arare". As it is made of unglazed pottery, when you first start using it, pour hot water into it with tea leaves and leave it overnight. As you use it day after day, the color of the tea will gradually seep in, giving it a very quaint appearance.
