Tanba Ware | Tamba-Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture Makers: Hideyuki Ichino, Kenta Ichino, Daisuke Ichino

Shading created by vertical and diagonal “shinogi” lines, and soft colors.

This pottery studio has been producing Tamba ware in Tamba-Sasayama since 1890. Today, the third generation, Hideyuki Ichino, works together with his sons Kenta and Daisuke to create tableware that honors tradition while suiting modern lifestyles.

The studio is known for its signature "shinogi" technique, in which grooves are carved into the surface of the pottery: the wife creates the vertical grooves, while her husband carves the diagonal ones.

The collection features soft, versatile colors such as white, clear blue, and ochre, making it easy to incorporate into any table setting.
