Tambatachikuiyaki

Description

The artistry of a great meal is not just the food but also what it is served on. This fabric design is called ‘Tambatachikuiyaki’ after the pottery and stoneware of the same name. Handprinted on 100% Linen this would be perfect for a shacket, trousers or a skirt. It would be a match made in heaven for homewares also.

Tambatachikuiyaki Stoneware has been made for about 800 years in Tamba, near Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture. The kilns it is made in are counted among the six ancient kilns in Japan, and are indispensable in the history of Japanese pottery. Currently, around 60 kilns remain and continue to protect Tamba’s fire.

The black and white design of the fabric was inspired by a visit to the Toshihiko Kiln. It came to life after learning from one of the master artisans about the traditional black glaze ‘Okudaguro’.

Tambatachikuiyaki pottery is produced mainly for daily use, rustic and unadorned. They make use of an ash glaze and the clay surface, allowing you to fully feel the climate unique to Tamba. This is the essence that the fabric also strives to capture, with the hope that you will use it in your daily life and feel the history, artistry and connection it holds.
