{"title":"Unglazed(Yakishime) stoneware","description":"\u003cp\u003eYakishime (焼き締め) is a firing technique in which no glaze (the glass-like surface coating) is applied to the piece at all, and the clay itself is fired at high temperature — approximately 1,200–1,300°C — over an extended period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost japanese pottery is coated with glaze to seal the clay body against water. In yakishime, that waterproofing is achieved entirely differently: by firing the clay to its absolute limit, the clay particles are compacted into a dense, vitrified mass, producing a robust piece that is impermeable to water without any glaze at all. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kyoto-nokaze-global.myshopify.com\/blogs\/guide\/bizen-ware\"\u003eBizen ware (備前焼, Okayama Prefecture)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kyoto-nokaze-global.myshopify.com\/blogs\/guide\/shigaraki-ware\"\u003eShigaraki ware (信楽焼, Shiga Prefecture)\u003c\/a\u003e, and Iga ware (伊賀焼, Mie Prefecture)\u0026nbsp; are the kiln regions internationally recognised as the most representative producers of Unglazed(Yakishime) stoneware.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9473\/4678\/collections\/Rectangle_13443_1.png?v=1783728155","url":"https:\/\/global.kyoto-nokaze.com\/collections\/theme-1.oembed","provider":"Kyoto nokaze Global","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
