Brush
Brush, a collection features bowls painted with layered engobe applied by brush, evoking the fluidity of Japanese calligraphy. Although without the hint of its original color from the top, small sections of clay at the bottom and the dents on the surface remind you the pieces are made with Shigaraki’s iconic earth.
-
Creative Uniformity
Brush-applied engobe on the base clay ensures every single piece is unique, blending uniformity together with artistic creativity.
-
Subtle Hues
White in colour with hints of grey-ish blue on the surface, the coating partially covers the natural, raw colour of the Shigaraki clay while keeping its characteristic coarseness visible.
-
Multiple Sizes

How Oogoya pieces are made
-
Design
Designed for daily use, these pieces are comfortable, functional, and aesthetically balanced. The minimal, timeless design blends into modern homes while echoing the rich craftsmanship of this ancient Japanese kiln town.
-
Material
Shigaraki clay is known for its warm tones, coarse texture, natural strength, and its ability to form large-scale pieces. We carefully select the most suitable clay from Shigaraki or nearby regions, ensuring its subtle variations give every item a unique presence that ages beautifully.
-
Crafting
Every shape, whether hand-thrown or molded, is created using traditional techniques guided by our experienced artisans. Their meticulous care and the small variations reflecting the maker's hand fill each piece with unique soul and individuality.
-
Firing
Firing in modern and traditional kilns at various temperatures enhances the clay’s texture and glazing effects. Iron spots, gradients, and slight natural warping are authentic signatures, no one piece is exactly the same, adding layers of uniqueness to Shigaraki-ware.
