Counted among the six ancient kilns in Japan, Echizenyaki has been produced in Fukui prefecture, on Japan’s west coast, for over 800 years. Blessed with abundant nature and rich, good-quality clay, local potters are able to produce rugged pieces with a powerful presence.
The natural ash glaze created by the dynamic convergence of fire and air in the kiln captures the essence of the surrounding area whilst echoing its dramatically changing seasons.
