A history of Marujyu Seito
Marujyu Seito was established in Shigaraki, Shiga Japan in 1937 and one of the 6th oldest kilns in Japan.
The potters who work at Marujyu Seito proudly and carefully handcraft their potteries each and every day.
Each piece they create is slightly different that depends on the season, weather or maybe how the glaze is applied makes the difference.
Their philosophy for making potteries is to enjoy the difference.
The difference you see on each piece makes their potteries unique.
This is their flagship shop/gallery in Shigaraki Shiga.
you can see most of their potteries on display and also you can purchase them.
All of their pieces are carefully handcrafted.
Applying glaze.
Each piece has its uniqueness and that is what we enjoy.
