Sand

Sand, a collection all about texture. Each piece reveals the natural coarseness of Shigaraki clay on the outside, while a smooth glaze is applied to the center to highlight whatever you serve. This creates a gentle transition between rough and refined, making the pieces both tactile and practical.

    Locally made in Shigaraki, Japan and designed for your daily use, the collection includes three plate sizes, a tea cup, and a mug with matching saucer.

From the Sand 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.
