The family has passed down its techniques through generations, with the 3rd, 4th, and 5th generations currently creating the pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShinogi refers to the decorative lines on the side of the pitcher.

It is a traditional Japanese type of kiln that utilizes a sloped terrain to connect multiple firing chambers. Since wood is used as fuel, the ash melted at high temperatures acts as a natural glaze, creating pottery with a profound character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*For vessels fired in a noborigama, the intensity of the flame and the surface pattern vary depending on where they are placed.
