Shigaraki ware is made in Shigaraki Town, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. It is counted as one of the six oldest kilns in Japan and is said to have a long history of 1,260 years. It was designated as a traditional craft by the national government in 1976.
Hechimon is a Shigaraki craftsman's word that means 'windswept object'. Just like the various shapes created by nature and the individual, the vessels have a variety of expressions, just like the various shapes created by nature and the individual personality.
