At the foot of Mount Horai, just a short distance from Lake Biwa, Shiro Shimizu has established his kiln.

Guided by his philosophy of “never buying clay, but digging it myself,” Shimizu-san creates everything from tea ceremony wares to sculptural objects, allowing the character of the earth itself to guide the work. We are deeply drawn to the powerful, distinctive expressions that emerge from this intimate relationship with the soil.

These forms make the most of the natural texture of the clay itself, where the strength of nature intertwines with the trace of Shimizu-san’s own hand and presence, creating a deep, grounded character that seems to take root within a space.

They beautifully enhance the delicate charm of wildflowers and branches, while bringing a quiet sense of openness and calm to the home.
