Koito pottery

Japan, 1-136 Kamiokahonmachi, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture 506-0031

Koito-yaki is a pottery from the Hida region that has been around since the Edo period. The deep, astringent cobalt blue created by a glaze called ``Aoiraboyu'' is unique to Koito ware in Japan, and is a very beautiful color. It has a slightly rough texture that becomes smoother the more you use it, and its color deepens and changes in flavor. The direct sales store sells a wide variety of flower-shaped coffee cups and mugs, as well as single flower vases and tableware. Japanese tableware with beautiful colors that will make your food stand out is perfect as a gift. The glaze is also dense, making it difficult for food odors to stick to it. You can also tour the workshop, so why not come and see Hida's traditional pottery?
