FUJIWARA JUN
FUJIWARA SHIZUKA
/Shigaraki Ware
We held an exhibition of works by potters Jun Fujiwara and Shizuka Fujiwara at our LIMITED SHOP.
Their works, with their unique texture, thickness, comfortable grip, and colors that subtly change with use, are both practical and stylish, and were very well received! ✨
*The photos show a "rhinoceros" custom-made for us and a pot collaboratively designed with ch!iii.
We visited their kiln and saw the steady creation of various vessels, and heard the distinct clicking sounds as they cooled. (These are also featured in our Instagram story archives and reels, please take a look.)
