[Doso Towada Kiln] Standards for unique products

-Thinking about the future of pottery-

Pottery is made from natural elements such as earth, water, fire, iron and wood.
It is difficult for humans to fully control vessels, which are made up of countless causal relationships.

All of the pottery at Doso Towada Kiln is handmade by artisans.

Unfortunately, some of these vessels are difficult to sell as genuine products due to natural factors.

We do not consider these vessels to be inferior, but rather want to see them as individual pieces, so we call them "unique items" rather than B-grade or outlet items.

About Doso Towada Kiln

- Brand Concept -
"Form is born from use, and beauty is only possible when form is present."

Doso Dowada Kiln is a Mashiko ware brand that produces pottery, which can be considered a product of nature, with the "responsibility to receive from nature" and aims to bring the charm of pottery to many people.

We create tableware using traditional Mashiko glazes, aiming to create tools that you can use without even realizing it, and that you will grow to love more and more as you spend more time with them.

We prioritize "use" and pursue "good tools" that can be used naturally and that people will grow to love.
