Kyo-yaki Pottery: 350 Years of Timeless Wheel-Thrown Artistry

Inheriting the tradition of Omuro-yaki, the 350-year-old root of Kyoto's Kyo-yaki, Ninshu honors true artisan craftsmanship. While 99% of modern ceramics are mass-produced, each piece is 100% wheel-thrown by certified master artisans, creating a bold, design-registered "finger-line" texture. The vessel's character comes from "hand-applied glazing." Since the clay is soft, the glaze deeply penetrates the earthenware, transforming inside the kiln through a masterfully controlled "Yohen" (kiln change) firing process. This profound heritage brings timeless beauty to every item, from a matcha bowl with a spout to an incense holder.

Ninshu: Reviving a Legendary Kyoto Pottery Kiln for Modern Wabi-Sabi Living

Ninshu is a distinguished pottery brand proudly appointed by Ninna-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site founded in 888. In 1983, the brand revived the legendary "Omuro Kiln," originally opened in 1646 by Nonomura Ninsei, the father of Kyoto pottery. It stands as the only kiln permitted to bear the imperial chrysanthemum crest. Through the master artisans' wheel-throwing and hand-glazing techniques, Ninshu creates beautiful everyday vessels, including their unique matcha bowl with spout and sake ware. Blending historic craft with modern lifestyles, these pieces are microwave and dishwasher safe, bringing the warmth of handmade craft and a touch of wabi-sabi to your daily life and ritual.
