The freedom of shaping that is unique to ceramic materials and the advanced firing technology of Shigaraki ware have made it possible to achieve a large, light, and beautiful piece. In addition, the dignified touch and soft luster unique to ceramic materials, and the different expressions of each fired piece create a unique presence. It adds a subtle elegance to a simple outfit and brings depth to the wearer, making it suitable for a wide range of styling, both Japanese and Western. We can also handle small-lot OEM and custom-made production in collaboration with apparel brands, Japanese clothing manufacturers, and select shops. Because each item is handmade, we can realize unique development that matches the brand’s worldview, and it is attracting attention as a new material proposal for the fashion industry. Development background: “A sparkle that spreads across your chest” – the fruition of a 20-year dream

By carefully selecting lightweight clay material and using a firing technique that uses real gold, silver, and platinum, we have achieved durability without discoloration or peeling, as well as decorativeness over a large surface area. A highly finished, one-of-a-kind accessory that can only be achieved with pottery has been born.
