Kaneko Kohyo Pottery

Origin
Toki, Gifu Prefecture, Japan

Founded in 1921, Kaneko Kohyo Pottery is a century-old kiln located in the heart of Japan’s Mino ware region.

For more than 100 years, the pottery has respected the traditions of Mino ware while continuing to create tableware for modern life.

Mino Ware Tradition

Mino ware is known for its remarkable variety of forms, colors, textures, and glazes. Kaneko Kohyo works with skilled local craftspeople—from clay specialists and mold makers to glazing and kiln artisans—to bring each collection to life.

Natural variations in glaze, color, and texture are part of the character of the pottery and make every piece feel distinctive.

Tradition for Everyday Life

Kaneko Kohyo tableware is designed to be beautiful, comfortable to use, and easy to enjoy every day.

Its collections range from the softly sculpted Rinka series to the luminous Giyaman collection and thoughtfully designed sake ware. Traditional Japanese craftsmanship is expressed through forms that complement both Japanese and Western dining.

Why We Selected It

We selected Kaneko Kohyo for its thoughtful balance of heritage, function, and contemporary design.

These are pieces made to be used—not simply displayed—bringing warmth, beauty, and a small sense of happiness to the everyday table.
