Kyoto Yaki - Goods from Kyoto

Kyoto is the birthplace of many of Japan's cultural achievements and developments. It is no exaggeration to say that Kyoto in particular was the starting point from where Japanese culture was carried out into the world. A strong focus in Kyoto has always been on cultural developments around cuisine. The tea ceremony and typical dishes accompanying it (kaiseki) have undergone the highest refinement in Kyoto. It is not surprising that in the wake of these efforts the ceramic arts, which play an important role in the ceremony, have also developed to the highest level. The high standards of Kyoto's chefs, tea masters and aesthetically educated citizens have always been the incentive and benchmark for the artistic achievements of Kyoto's fantastic craftsmen. Their creations enjoy world renown, regardless of whether it is the ceramic quality, the most delicate patterns or the most refined glazes. At the same time, the masters of ceramics with their sophisticated works were again the engines for the technical development of production in the traditional kilns, which had to do and have done their part to complete the works of ceramic artists. Kyoto Yaki, ware from Kyoto, became a brand of the most beautiful ceramics with an international reputation and a loyal following around the world.

KAYORI - Delighting in the Masterful

Creative inheritors of a technique can create delightful new results with just a few changes to traditional methods. Japan, but Kyoto in particular, has created a reputation for centuries of being excellent at improving and perfecting things. Throughout all periods of history, Japan has managed to accomplish fantastic works with this attitude towards life. KAYORI represents the improvement dynamics of Japan in a special way. In a courageous way, color tones and motifs of Western cultures are also taken up and surprisingly reinterpreted and combined. If you also find pleasure in KAYORI products, you will win real friends who can accompany you for a lifetime.

Instructions for use and care

Ceramic products with relatively open surfaces have water and breathing activities with food prepared in them. For example, they can absorb and release flavors. With prolonged use and careful care, ceramic products enhance flavor nuances of the food being served in them, such as tea. Before use, ceramic should be washed with warm water and left to stand for a while filled with warm water. Ceramics that have absorbed water are less susceptible to tea stains and other discolorations. After use, always wash with clean, warm water without detergent. Abrasive sponges, hard brushes or similar should not be used for cleaning. Ceramic products decorated and painted with gold, silver or colors should not be exposed to high heat (oven) and sudden temperature changes, as this may damage the colors. The colors may change due to oxidation, even peel off at high heat. If the colors darken, you can use special polish to refresh the colors. However, please avoid bleach at all costs.

All products are unique. Slight deviations from the picture are possible. Due to the artisan production, small irregularities are evidence of authenticity and craftsmanship and do not represent a reduction in value.
