Shigaraki ware is pottery made in Shigaraki Town, a mountain village in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. It is one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns and boasts a history spanning over 1,200 years.

It was designated a traditional craft by the national government in 1976 (Showa 51).

The registered trademark "Hechimon" comes from a Shigaraki artisan's term meaning "unusual objects."

Due to the handmade nature of the pieces, slight variations in size, color, and pattern may occur.

This everyday vase, "Hanakiraku," combines the earthenware characteristic of Shigaraki with a simple design, making it suitable for both traditional and modern presentations. Its natural ambiance blends seamlessly into living rooms and dining rooms, and its size makes it easy to enjoy with inexpensive flowers or garden plants.
