Kyoto
Craftmanship
and Beauty
Enjoy the mysterious beauty
of works crafted
by artisans.
Vessels created by artisans seem almost alive. There is a story behind every item.
As Japan's capital for many generations, Kyoto was the focus of artisanal culture, attracting many different styles and stimulating much competition among craftsmen.
That is the reason why Kiyomizu ware uses no set type of materials or technique. So you will find items that have been turned on a wheel, hand formed, stamped, or molded. This gives Kiyomizu ware a timeless appeal.
Asahido will help you to find something that you love and pass down with pride to future generations.
