Meet the Japanese Shigaraki Ceramic Katakuchi Bowl in Black Glaze, handcrafted in Shigaraki, Japan. Located in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, Shigaraki is one of Japan's six old kilns, with a history that goes back 1260 years. In 1976, Shigaraki-yaki (Shigaraki ware) was designated as a traditional craft in Japan.
