This handcrafted HECHIMON Shigaraki cup features a smooth charcoal-grey glaze with a light, speckled interior. Each cup is made to embrace subtle variation—small changes in tone, speckling, and finish are part of the handmade process, not flaws.

The natural earthiness of Shigaraki pottery comes from the coarse local clay and traditional wood-firing techniques used by the maker, Marui-Seito Co.

Shigaraki Ware

Shigaraki-yaki (信楽焼) is a traditional style of Japanese pottery made in Shigaraki, Shiga Prefecture—one of Japan's historic "Six Ancient Kilns." It's known for an earthy, natural aesthetic, often using coarse local clay and kiln effects that make each piece unique. Shigaraki ware was designated a traditional craft by Japan in 1976.

HECHIMON

HECHIMON (へちもん) is a Shigaraki dialect term meaning "something a little unusual." The name reflects the maker's approach: celebrating irregularity and handmade character rather than industrial uniformity. Each piece embraces what Japanese ceramics call wabi-sabi—the beauty found in imperfection and natural variation.
