Ryumonji-yaki is a traditional pottery from Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, with a history that dates back to the 17th century. Born from the beautiful natural environment surrounding Sakurajima, an active volcano, Ryumonji-yaki is crafted using high-quality local materials from the nearby Kajiki Town, contributing to its unique characteristics and rich colors.

Features

• Color: Ryumonji-yaki is known for its distinctive deep black color, created from volcanic ash that settles on the land in this region. This rich, dark hue brings elegance and sophistication to each piece.

• Design: The pottery features simple yet refined shapes. Many pieces reflect the beauty of nature through patterns and curves, adding warmth and vibrancy to any table. Each handmade piece carries its own personality, and you’ll feel a special connection every time you use it.

How to Use It

Ryumonji-yaki is beloved for daily dining. With versatile items like rice bowls, plates, and vases, it’s perfect for various occasions. It’s also cherished as a vessel for Japanese food and sake, but its appeal extends beyond Japanese culture, making it suitable for various international settings as well!
