Kyoto Utsuwa Shop for your daily life

4 Vase Shops in Kyoto for Your Daily Life

In honor of the autumn season of art, we introduce four stores where you can buy tableware in Kyoto City! Add a touch of color to your home time with the warmth of craftsmen's tableware.

1.You can find made-in-Kyoto ceramic ware at TOKINOHA Ceramic Studio in Yamashina.

In 2021, the store and studio, which had been separated from each other until then, will be integrated with the desire to "reduce the distance between the creator and the user to zero". The shop will be an extraordinary space where visitors can experience ceramics from various angles, including a casual one-day ceramics experience, a ceramics course designed to train artisans, and a food stand where visitors can taste ceramics in "TOKINOHA" dishes with a menu that looks like a work of art.

The "copper" series is attractive for its slightly rough texture and subtle sparkle due to its copper glaze.Cup costs 4,180 yen, plate (12cm) costs 2,200 yen.
