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. In addition, a dimple-like depression"EKUBO" is intentionally created in the belly of the tea cup, and by catching your fingers there, it becomes easier to hold.Oribe glaze is generally characterized by its deep green color, but there are many other types such as black Oribe glaze, blue Oribe glaze, red Oribe glaze, pink and gray Olibe glaze.Black Oribe 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.There are Kannyu on the brown ivy pattern part of the teacup."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.
