Shibugusa pottery Hokokusha

Japan, 506-0845 63 Kamininomachi, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture

Hokokusha produces and sells Shibugusa ware, which uses pottery stone as the raw material and hand-paints unique Shibugusa-like designs onto handmade white vessels. When you enter the store, which is located one street away from the old town and lined with townhouses, you'll find yourself in the middle of a small art museum! Shibugusa ware, such as bowls and plates, with delicate designs and elegant colors are on sale. Each piece is carefully handmade, and the delicate designs are hand-painted. The design and technology, which pays close attention to detail that cannot be achieved by machines, has been praised around the world, including at the Paris Universal Exposition, and has left many achievements. Shibugusa ware is resistant to stains and is far more durable than you might imagine given its delicate design. Why not try getting some Shibukusa-yaki that will add beautiful color to your dining table and make your usual dishes look even more delicious?
