Counted as one of the Six Ancient Kilns in Japan, it is a Bizen ware with a 1000-year history.
Created without glazing, utilizing local potter's clay for soil making and 10 tons of Japanese red pine's split wood for a 10-days-long burning in a kiln after molding with potter's wheel.
It is natural and traditional pottery created with precious materials and a long time.
Just got my package and want to pass my deepest appreciation to you all. I
LOVE all the products I purchased and THANK YOU for packaging them up so
carefully. This is my first time buying from you, but I am now your big fan!
I will definitely recommend your store on my network. Thank you again, and I
will follow your facebook page and promote your store on my network! Really
love it and thank you. I am a big fan of your store and a big fan of
anything made in Japan. One of my struggles living outside of Japan is that most
of the Japanese brands don't ship internationally - as such, I am very
happy that I found your website and store.

It has long been called "Bizen mortar that does not break even when thrown" and has been valued throughout Japan. The flat shape is stable and allows you to put a lot of force into it. It is recommended for making basil sauce, mashed potatoes, and grinding yams. It can also be used as a container for pickles and prepared foods. Appeared in a commercial for Hebel Haus
