Each item is handcrafted using a potter's wheel in the same way as 400 years ago.Among Setoyaki, the ware made in the Akazu area is called "Akazuyaki", and the high quality ware made using traditional techniques has been branded and certified as a national traditional craft.The Rokubei kiln is one of the most representative kilns for Seto Akazuyaki, and is also known for producing the Matcha tea bowls used at the Japan Pavilion at Expo Milano, and as souvenirs for those involved in the Ise-Shima Summit.Oribe(織部) is a glaze that has a green color and is glossy. It was given this name because Furuta Oribe, a senior disciple of Sen no Rikyu, liked it. The shades of green soften the expression and add flavor to the colors. The glaze accumulates in the concave part of the item, creating a deep green color that is a very profound sight to behold. It features a unique deep green color and an innovative design.Kiseto(黄瀬戸) is a glaze that develops a yellowish-brown color due to the presence of a very small amount of iron, and its bright yet slightly astringent color gives it a unique elegance. There are "Kannyu(Crackle glaze) throughout, and the more you use it, the more the taste will increase.Koseto(古瀬戸) Glaze:Also called Iron glaze, which was first used in "Koseto'' at the end of the 13th century during the Kamakura period. It is the oldest traditional glaze in Seto Akazu ware and characterized by its color ranging from yellowish brown to brown to black depending on the amount of iron it contains.Black Oribe(黒織部) is a technique in which the item is taken out of the kiln once the firing of the Oribe glaze is completed, and is rapidly cooled to give the iron glaze a jet black color. It is also characterized by the addition of patterns. The jet black & monotone design is modern and blends well with modern dining tables."Kannyu(Crackle glaze)":cracks in the glaze that occur during cooling after firing. Of course, it will be a decoration rather than a crack in the soil. If you use the patterns of the Kannyu that change as you use them on a daily basis with the mindset of "nurturing the scenery'', you will grow into something that you will become especially attached to.
