Currently, individual sales are not available. ⚠️About the product⚠️ Each piece is handmade, so there may be slight individual differences. Black spots and cracks from iron in the clay are also part of the Maruyama Ware style and are not defects. Please purchase only if you understand this. 【Reference】 Mishima ware is made using the inlay (zougan) technique. While the clay is still soft, a handmade wooden stamp is pressed onto it, and then slip is applied to fill the indentations. After the slip has dried, the surface is scraped with a tool called a "kanna" to bring out the pattern. The shading of the pattern is created by the degree of scraping, but it is scraped little by little while observing the situation so that it does not become uniform. Pressing this many stamps is a very time-consuming process, but the shading of the pattern is also created by the pressure of pressing the stamp, and an expressive look that can only be expressed by handwork is created. 2025.12.7
