About Touga

Touga Tableware is a prominent player in the Japanese ceramic industry, with a legacy of over seventy years. The name "Touga" comes from the Japanese words 'tou' (陶) meaning pottery and 'ga' (雅) denoting elegance. This reflects the company's commitment to creating sophisticated, top-tier tableware that blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.

About Kohiki Pottery

Kohiki ceramics are a unique style of pottery originating from Korea and introduced to Japan in the 16th century. The distinctive characteristic is its appearance, which resembles white powder (Kona) spread on the ceramics. This effect is achieved by covering a dark clay body with a thin white slip, followed by a translucent glaze. The result is a soft texture and a warm, milky white finish that became popular among practitioners of the tea ceremony.
