About this product
One of the features of Kanayama pottery, called "Sangiri", is produced by indirectly heating pottery that's buried in ash. The same effect is also achieved when pottery is fired in a furnace and heated until oxidation occurs. The lack of oxygen that these methods create causes greys and blues that are seen in nature to appear in patterns on the surface of the pottery.
The unique shape and character of this kobachi bowl add warmth to any table and complement both everyday meals and special dishes. Perfect for serving appetizers, pickled vegetables, as well as desserts.

Kanayama Pottery
Tsugaru Kanayama pottery is made from high-quality resources found at a local reservoir. These pieces of pottery are made using the "Yakishime Method", a technique in which unglazed pottery is faced directly into a fire fueled by local Japanese Red Pine Wood. The pottery is brought to a high temperature of 2462°F, creating a natural and unique pattern on the surface for each piece of pottery.
