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.When the potter's wheel is rotated and the clay is pulled up and shaped with fingers, the marks left by the fingers on the surface as the potter's wheel rotates are called "ROKUROME," and they are not only simple in modeling, but also good in their resistance to slipping. Oribe 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."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.
