Meet our Japanese Shigaraki Itchin-Gaki Ceramic Bowl & Saucer (Set), handcrafted in Shiga Prefecture in Japan. A cup and a saucer are sold as a set.
Itchin-gaki is "a method of drawing a pattern by pouring slip (clay mixed with water), glaze, or paint into a tool called an itchin and squeezing it out onto a bare surface. It is also called tsutsu-gaki. Itchin tools often take the form of a squeezable conical tool made of paper treated with astringent persimmon juice, a bamboo tube with a spout, or in recent years, a dropper".
Located in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, Shigaraki is one of Japan's six old kilns, with a history that goes back 1260 years. In 1976, Shigaraki-yaki (Shigaraki ware) was designated as a traditional craft in Japan.
