Keep it long, treasure it long.

A chubby shape that fits your hand

When incorporating warm pottery into your life, what you care about is how to handle it. The so-called earthenware is delicate, and many people may hesitate to use it everyday. For such people, we recommend that you first try porcelain. Porcelain made from porcelain is baked at a high temperature of 1200 ° C or higher when it is produced, and the dishwasher and microwave oven are also durable.
There are various types of porcelain, such as Kutani ware, which is characterized by its colorful painting, and Arita ware, which is characterized by its elegant whiteness. Among them, this time we will introduce Tobe ware, a simple, chubby and warm porcelain that is also designated as a national traditional craft. Among them, the vessels of the Umeyama kiln, the oldest kiln, are beautifully painted, and you can enjoy the unique taste of a long-established store that has walked a long history of 150 years with life.

Versatile vessel and beautiful painting

There are two types of patterns prepared this time: the inner and outer sun and Kuresu Akagiku. All of them have distinctive patterns, so even if you serve simple dishes such as udon noodles and somen noodles, they will brightly color the table. Since heat is not easily transferred to the bowl, it does not get hot even if you hold it, and it is difficult for the food to cool down, so it is useful in various situations such as pot-au-feu dishes and soup dishes such as pot-au-feu. The 6-inch bead bowl is a thick bead and has a sense of stability. The point is that it has a diameter of 18 cm and is easy to handle. Gyokuen means that the edge and mouth edge of the plate have a thick and thick shape, and if this part that touches the mouth is rounded, it will feel better. , Perfect for soup dishes.

Painting drawn by a craftsman with a single stroke is a unique technique called the Umeyama style. While having the dynamics of folk crafts, it is not too gorgeous and not too simple, and it goes well with any dish. The lively patterns with nature as a motif complement the single-colored dishes, and the white base and the bright blue color of Kuresu, which are the characteristics of porcelain, enhance the colors of the multicolored dishes and enhance the appetite.

A vessel where tradition lives

Tobe ware, which began production in 1775, and the long-established kiln, Umeyama Kiln, which has been walking along with its long history, were opened by Seigoro Umeno in 1882. Soetsu Yanagi, Shoji Hamada, Shigeo Suzuki, who had the oldest history of Tobe ware pottery and promoted a folk art movement advocating the value that "beauty is in life" for the reconstruction of Tobe ware after the Pacific War. Kanjiro Kawai and others were involved in the production of the Umeyama kiln, and completed a unique technical technique in which each piece is hand-made from rokuro to painting.
The flow of this movement has been handed down to the present day as "a shape that is close to daily life," "a pattern that allows you to feel nature," and "a simple and beautiful" handwork, "and has become a user under the concept of" use and beauty. " We continue to make vessels that are close to each other.
Umeyama kiln vessels use only those from Tobe, from pottery stones to Kuresu pigments, and are a brand rooted not only in daily life but also in the community. The vessel, which is filled with deep feelings for both the creator and the community, has a beauty that you will never let go of.
