About Yohenkon Glaze

In Japanese ceramics, 'Yohen' (窯変) refers to changes or effects that occur in the kiln during firing, resulting in unique colour patterns. 'Kon' (紺) refers to a deep, dark blue. A 'Yohenkon' piece is one that has undergone kiln transformations resulting in beautiful, deep blue effects, emphasising the artisanal quality of the item, as no two pieces will ever be exactly alike.
