A rustic sake pourer from the Keishugama kiln - the rougher finish has a pleasing tactile feel and the variation in glaze fromt he wood-firing adds character to each piece.
These katakuchi came out quite dark this year, but there still is quite a wide range of colour, and some are more speckled than others, if you would like a picture of what is available, just let us know!

Keishugama Kiln
Kajiwara san grew up surrounded by pottery in Tōhō village and has taken up the challenge of how to re-invigorate traditional shapes and decoration. He experimented with different glazes and shapes until he settled on his signature white rice husk ash and brown ameyu glazes which he uses for practical tableware including the versatile Ōhitsu container. His glazes have a real depth of colour and texture which combined with simple shapes and decoration make his work really appealing.
