The pottery utilizes red clay rich in iron and is fired at high temperatures to produce a distinctive reddish-brown finish. Its durability, even without a glaze, makes it impervious to water, historically leading to its use in daily items like water jars and mortars. This legacy has been carried into modern times, preserving techniques that highlight the natural texture of the clay. Echizen Pottery, with its warm and rustic appeal, is celebrated as one of Japan’s six ancient kilns and a prominent pottery region in the Hokuriku area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince it is made by hand, there are individual differences in color and shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esize ｜φ5 × h11cm \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ematerial ｜ Pottery\u003cbr\u003ecapacity ｜ 120 ml\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade in Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca title=\"nakagawa-masashichi\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zakkasine.com\/collections\/nakagawa-masashichi\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.zakkasine.com\/collections\/nakagawa-masashichi\"\u003erelated products\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eProduct Care Instructions\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMicrowave Safe\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBefore First Use:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTo prevent dirt from entering fine cracks or crevices on the surface, it is recommended to perform a process called “sealing” as follows:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePlace the cup in a pot filled with rice water (the water left after rinsing rice).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHeat on medium until just before boiling, then reduce to low heat and simmer for about 15 minutes.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTurn off the heat and allow the cup to cool to room temperature in the rice water.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e4.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWash thoroughly and let it dry completely.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eUsage Guidelines:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAvoid sudden temperature changes to prevent damage (e.g., rapid heating or cooling).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBefore use, immerse the cup in water to saturate it fully, reducing the risk of stains or odors adhering to the surface.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAfter Use:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhile dishwasher use is allowed, handwashing is recommended to prolong the product’s lifespan.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAvoid overloading in the dishwasher to prevent damage.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUse a soft sponge for cleaning, as abrasive detergents or metal scrubbers may scratch the surface.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDo not soak the cup for extended periods.
