Yukiko Tsuchiya was fascinated by Karatsu ware, which was familiar to her since childhood, and began making pottery.
She made and used them over and over again, and came up with beautiful, easy-to-use pottery.
At first glance, it gives off a rough and powerful impression, but it also has feminine delicacy throughout.
The exquisite balance and texture of the soil seem to embody the charm of Karatsu ware.
In particular, Kuro Karatsu has a rich individuality even though it has the same glaze, and has the generosity to adapt to any type of cuisine.
Easy to use and makes it fun to serve.
