Rinka

This collection features bowls and plates inspired by the delicacy of flower petals. Soft dents along the rim form silhouettes that resemble blooming flowers, giving each piece a gentle floral character. The light beige glaze carries subtle orange undertones from the Shigaraki clay beneath, occasionally accompanied by natural firing marks. Together, the colour and form bring warmth to the table while highlighting the quiet character of the clay.

  • Petal-Inspired Form

    Soft indentations along the rim create a silhouette that recalls blooming flowers. This shaping defines the outline of each piece, giving it a distinctive petal-like profile to adorn your dining table.

  • Colour Depth of Shigaraki Clay

    The glaze reveals subtle tones of the underlying clay, creating a layered colour effect. Natural firing marks occasionally appear on the surface, highlighting the material’s character and authenticity.

  • Soft Presence on Table

    With its muted tones and rounded form, each piece sits comfortably within a setting. It complements rather than dominates, making it suitable for both everyday meals and quieter presentations.

From the Rinka Collection

  • 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.
