Four hundred years of clay, made into a vessel for flowers. A palm-sized ceramic vase from an Agano-ware kiln in Fukuoka. Agano ware began about 420 years ago and belongs to the line of tea ceramics counted among the Enshu Seven Kilns. Carrying on that tradition, the Koushin-Gama kiln makes its pieces as a parent-and-child workshop. In the 'Sumi to Yuki' (ink and snow) series, an ink-black glaze runs like a drop from the top edge of a snow-white body, drawing a scene that is never the same twice.
In the thin-walled style particular to Agano ware, it is lighter in the hand than it looks. It holds a single stem, of course, and has the presence to take branches or a few grasses together. It also works as a vessel for our Fragrass igusa sticks. Lift the flowers out and set it on a shelf, and it becomes a small, modern Japanese object.
• Form: small vase (one of a kind)
• Glaze: ink and snow (ink-black running over white)
• Material: Agano-ware ceramic (Koushin-Gama, Fukuoka)

Many of our pieces include a handcrafted element — our igusa tatami items are woven and then hand-finished by our craftspeople, while incense and ceramics are made in small artisan workshops. Because production often relies on hand work, quantities can be limited, so an item you love may not always be available to reorder right away.
Why Are Japanese Rooms So Calming?
The answer is tatami. Its grassy scent, the way it balances humidity, the way it helps keep the air fresh — a natural flooring Japan has lived with for centuries.
Ikehiko Quality
We make some pieces ourselves and carefully select others from artisans. Whether they come from our own workshops or from craftspeople across Kyushu, the standard is the same: real natural materials from Kyushu, shaped by genuine skill.
