A vast site of 20,000 tsubo, with the Ureshino River flowing abundantly in the center, the graceful standing waterfowl, the river surface swaying with their songs, the moon viewing platform where you can enjoy the waxing and waning of the moon, and the changing seasons of nature. , a historic Japanese garden.

HIZEN jewelry

Arita ware, Imari ware, Karatsu ware, Ureshino Yoshida ware, and Takeo ware.
The five ceramics representing the Hizen area that everyone has heard of have been loved for many years as folk crafts representing Japan.
The ceramics that represent Hizen are likened to jewelry and expressed through a new category called jewelry.
From here, a new Hizen tradition begins.

Arita | Bunsyohgama / bunsyohgama

Since our founding in 1991, with the concept of eliminating tableware, we have utilized the techniques of making a wide variety of pottery that have been passed down in Arita, aiming to create interior goods and stationery that create new values while being close to daily life.

Imari | Hatamantouen

Founded in 1997, Hataman Toen was founded under the name Manyo Kiln by the first generation Mantaro Hataishi. Based in Okawachiyama, known as the ``Secret Kiln Village'', where the official kiln of the Nabeshima Marquis of the Hizen Saga Domain was once located, we continue to work as masters of traditional techniques.

Ureshino Yoshida|224porcelain

Ceramics made in Ureshino City, Saga Prefecture, which is famous as a teahouse and one of Japan's leading hot spring areas. "224" is a porcelain brand born in Hizen Yoshida, a small production area. Although we are based on our long history and the technology we have cultivated over that time, we continue to take on the challenge of creating new products without being bound by traditional values.

Takeo | Kouungama / kouungama

Our workshop is located in the mountains of Takeo City, Saga Prefecture, in a place rich in nature surrounded by mountains and fields. Inheriting the flow of Karatsu ware, we incorporate the features of the traditional and simple "Ko Karatsu" pottery and the gorgeous pottery with overglaze and red designs, while focusing on handicrafts and creating "ware that is close to nature and daily life." I am keeping in mind.
Japan has four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter, and we want to pass down the lifestyle, handiwork, and food culture that are appropriate to the local climate to the next generation of children through ``pots.''

Karatsu | Yoshihisa Ishii / ishiiyoshihisa

Karatsu ware has been made for over 400 years. It was something that was cherished even as it changed and its interpretation changed with each era. We want you to experience the excitement of pottery by experiencing the texture and formative identity that can be obtained from natural objects.

CATHRI

CATHRI is a brand that incorporates Kurume Kasuri, an Important Intangible Cultural Property.
Ageless and universal relaxing wear from Japan.
We create a design that cannot be categorized anywhere, sublimate it into a one-of-a-kind product, and propose a new fashion.
