FAQs
All you need to know about Kyoto Ware
What makes Kyoto ware different from other Japanese ceramics?
Kyoto ware, also known as Kyo-yaki or Kiyomizu-yaki, is renowned for its refined elegance, delicate forms, and artistic diversity. Unlike other regional styles that often focus on functionality or rustic textures, Kyoto ware reflects the cultural sophistication of Kyoto—blending tradition with artistic expression in every piece.
Is each Kyoto ware item handmade?
Yes! Every piece of Kyoto ware is individually crafted by skilled artisans, often using techniques passed down through generations. This results in subtle variations in shape, glaze, and texture—making each item one-of-a-kind and rich in character.
Can I use Kyoto ware for everyday meals?
Absolutely. While Kyoto ware is often seen as collectible or ceremonial, many pieces—like plates, bowls, and teacups—are designed for everyday use. They bring a sense of calm beauty and intentionality to even the simplest meals.
Is Kyoto ware dishwasher or microwave safe?
Because Kyoto ware is handmade and often uses traditional glazes, we recommend hand washing only. Most pieces are not suitable for dishwashers, microwaves, or direct heat, as these may damage the glaze or structure over time.
Why is Kyoto ware considered a luxury craft?
Kyoto ware reflects centuries of ceramic mastery, often requiring weeks of detailed shaping, glazing, and firing. Its aesthetic precision, cultural roots, and artisanal quality make it highly valued—not just as tableware, but as functional art steeped in heritage.
