Story
We've been making the journey to Kato Kiln for a few years now, it's one of our favourite makers to return to again and again.
Deep in the forest in Tajimi, master potter Mr Kato handcrafts and fires each and every piece in his garden kiln. Visiting always feels like being welcomed into the family. While selecting ceramic pieces to bring home to the store, Mr Kato makes us coffee, grinding fresh beans in an old corn mill, while Mrs Kato brings us homemade treats like dried persimmon, mirin crackers and cookies.
On our latest visit, we picked out some treasured pieces, including many beautiful bowls, plates and a few extra special Donabes and cooking pots.
