[Tachikichi]
Born and nurtured in Kyoto in 1752, Tachikichi preserves the ancient Japanese lifestyle tools, and with further ingenuity and evolution, delivers ``Japanese utensils'' that live in modern times. It has an elegant appearance that reflects the four seasons of Kyoto, is easy to handle, and tastes better the more you use it. We deliver highly original products that are unique to Tachikichi.

Kyo-yaki/Kiyomizu-yaki is a type of ceramic that is made around Kyoto City. Originally, Kyo-yaki was the general term for pottery made in Kyoto, and Kiyomizu-yaki was the name for the pottery made on the approach to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. A characteristic of Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki, unlike those from other production areas, is that many different types of pottery are baked using a variety of techniques. Each kiln has different characteristics, and a wide variety of pottery is fired, including colored pottery, dyed pottery, tenmoku pottery, celadon pottery, and powdered pottery.
In addition to ``tea ceremony'' and ``flower arranging,'' Kyoto also has a variety of traditional arts and culture, such as ``kodo,'' which involves burning fragrant wood and appreciating the scent that rises from it, as well as an abundance of Kyoto cuisine and Japanese sweets that can only be found in Kyoto. Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki have developed together with these traditional Japanese cultures.
Even today, when mass-produced products have become mainstream, Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki have maintained the tradition of hand-made ceramics, and have established an unshakable position as Japan's representative ceramics. See less
