Arita ware, Japan’s first porcelain, originated in the early 17th century in the town of Arita, Saga Prefecture. Using pure porcelain stone sourced from the mountains of Amakusa, artisans created brilliantly white ceramics that quickly became celebrated for their beauty and strength. During the Edo period, Arita grew into a major center of porcelain production, with its works exported to Europe through the port of Imari, where they captivated collectors and royal courts alike. Today, Arita ware continues to embody the harmony of artistry and function, bringing timeless elegance to modern dining around the world.Donabe
A donabe (土鍋) is a traditional Japanese earthenware pot crafted from special clay that retains and distributes heat evenly. It's ideal for gentle, steady cooking to make hot pots and udon, simmer soups and stews, steam, roast, or make fluffy Japanese rice. Sizes range from family size to single serving. While classic donabe requires an open-flame heat source and seasoning before first use, modern options include induction compatibility and nonstick surfaces with no seasoning required. With proper care and handling, these versatile and rustic artisanal pieces can transform everyday meals into communal dining experiences for years to come.Shipping & Return
