About Kohiki Pottery

Kohiki ware is a traditional style of Japanese pottery known for its warm, rustic appearance. It is created by applying a white slip over a dark clay body, which is then covered with a translucent glaze. This technique results in a soft, powdered texture with subtle variations in colour, embodying the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi (beauty in imperfection).
