The essence of “monozukuri” craftsmanship

In olden days, Sansyu ceramic kawara were a home industry with artisans crafting each individual piece with great care. While maintaining those artisans’ skills, we have also succeeded in automating the process with the most advanced firing technologies. Our products’ superior disaster resistance capabilities set a Japanese standard that will be admired for years to come. This is the “Wagata disaster resistant” model that Sansyu clay kawara provide.

Japanese mindset recognized worldwide

It is no longer an exaggeration to say it’s now a global standard. “Wagata” are representative of Japan. Actually, though, it is not well known that they are indeed a worldwide favorite. And it’s not just the design, coloring, and comfort they provide that people admire. More than the look, it’s the unique Japanese cultural aspect of “wabi-sabi” that makes them popular around the world.

A timeless genre

The first thing anyone thinks of when they imagine clay kawara is their shape and color. Could it be that memories have been imprinted on the Japanese DNA? They constitute a timeless genre one can’t help feeling nostalgic about. They have never been swept away by the fickle trends of everyday life. Kawara are sure to maintain that quality of unchanging beauty in the future.
