[Commitment to white tableware] (Quoted from the Furuya Ceramics website)
White tableware brings out the best in any dish and can be used freely and generously. We work every day to create elegant and warm "powdered white Japanese tableware." Clay is essential in making "white Japanese tableware." We carefully cultivate our own unique clay, which we then use to mold on the potter's wheel and into tatara clay. The gentle, rustic earthenware flavor that peeks out from beneath the surface of the pottery gives it great depth. We hope you will use our Japanese tableware in your daily life and experience the warmth it exudes. If you enjoyed it, I would be more than happy.
