Ryumonji
Ryumonji ware specializes in Black Satsuma clay of Kagoshima, a clay made from the dark shirasu soil from volcanic regions. All the ingredients for its clay and glazes are harvested from local mountains and refined in the workshop. Few makers still collect raw materials in such a way. A variety of glazes make the natural beauty of Kagoshima (Kyushu) come to life: from the brightly colored sansai (three-color) and gracefully beautiful “blue trailed black,” to the powerful presence of the dakatsu (serpent) and samehada (shark’s skin) glazes.
A collection of Ryumonji bowls, plates, small to large vessels are available. We also work with chefs, hoteliers, etc. on hospitality projects and special events. Contact us for details.
