Shigaraki ware is pottery made in Shigaraki Town, a mountain village in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. It is one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns and boasts a history spanning over 1,200 years.

It was designated a traditional craft by the national government in 1976 (Showa 51).

The registered trademark "Hechimon" comes from a Shigaraki artisan's term meaning "unusual objects."

Due to the handmade nature of the pieces, slight variations in size, color, and pattern may occur.
