Shigaraki ware (Shigaraki yaki


A type of pottery made around the town of Shigaraki in Shiga prefecture. It’s known for its robustness and earthy aesthetic. Here are some key points:

  1. Clay and Firing: Clays like kibushi, mizuchi, or gairome are kneaded to create a strong clay suitable for making thick and large pottery vessels. Shigaraki ware is made using coarse soil, making it highly fire-resistant. During firing, it acquires shades of red, becoming red with scarlet or brown overtones.

  2. Unique Characteristics:

    • The white clay takes on a scarlet glow due to temperature variations, creating warm coloring unique to Shigaraki ware.
    • Rusty glaze on scorched portions is prized in tea utensils.
    • The earthy texture is beloved, leading to a wide variety of items—from vases to raccoon dog (tanuki) statues, which have become synonymous with Shigaraki ware.
  3. History:

    • Originated in the 8th century for Emperor Shomu’s palace construction.
    • Flourished during the Azuchi-Momoyama period with tea utensils.
    • Expanded to sake bottles and earthenware pots during the Edo period.
    • Designated as a National Traditional Craft in 1976.

Shigaraki ware remains a marvel of Japanese craftsmanship!
