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 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.
