Kohiki

The word Kohiki (粉引) translates to "powder-sprayed." The name originates from the visual effect of the technique: a soft, cloudy-white finish that looks as though a gentle dusting of snow or powdery flour has settled over the clay.

This aesthetic beautifully embodies the spirit of wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding deep beauty in imperfection, and the rustic warmth of the natural world. As the white slip and ash glaze are organic and porous, Kohiki ceramics absorb microscopic particles from the teas, coffees, and food served in them. Over months and years of daily use, the vessel will gently develop a subtle patina, changing hue and character, reflecting the life it has lived together with you. Bring the timeless elegance of this living tradition home from our Kohiki Collection, and watch your everyday shape its story.
