About ASH
We are committed to “Made in Kagoshima,” and one of the key elements we focused on was the volcanic ash provided by Sakurajima, the region’s symbol. This series was perfected after years of trial and error, carefully adjusting factors such as the amount of ash added and the firing temperature. The variation in color from piece to piece is due to their placement within the kiln and the chemical reactions of the glaze. While discovering the texture that suits your taste is part of the fun, this glaze also offers the charm of aging over time. The more you use it in your daily life, the more character it gains, eventually becoming a one-of-a-kind “personal tool” just for you.
*Colors may vary slightly depending on your monitor.
*Since each piece is handmade, the color, texture, and shape of each item will vary slightly.
How to Use
・ASH is a series of porcelain. Original glaze made with volcanic ash is used. At the beginning of its use, you might find iron on the surface of the product. The component inspection has been conducted, which made it clear that it has no impact on human body, but please wash before use.
・You might like the aged deterioration of the glaze. Sometimes water stains or oil stains leave on the tableware but it will change into distinctively deep black. (If you would like to quickly make its color deep, you can rub olive oil in it)
・When using a dishwasher, a microwave or an oven, please handle as other ceramics. ASH is not specifically designed to be used in the oven, so sudden temperature change may cause cracks. Also please avoid the following use. 1. Soaking the heated item in the water from the oven. 2. Putting the cold item in the oven from the freezer.
・Please use only for intended purpose. Please avoid using with open flame, abrasive, cleanser and wire wool.
・Please avoid using any item with cracks, as it may cause damage or accident.
