Each teapot is unique.
Masatoshi Ichino is a third-generation potter from his grandfather's generation in the Tamba ware country of Hyogo Prefecture. He grew up watching his parents and naturally began to make his own. After graduating from a ceramic art school in Kyoto, he worked for two years in a workshop in Shiga and became independent in his hometown of Tamba in 2011. He continues to use only Tamba clay, taking advantage of the natural texture of the local soil, in keeping with the unglazed tradition of Tamba-yaki. The characteristics of his ceramics are a comfortable shape and color that are still used today. You can feel the practical beauty of Ichino products; each ceramic piece has a lightness perfect for everyday use. In addition to clay pots, Ichino-san also makes kitchen utensils, such as bowls and mortars, as well as serving dishes. Instructions for first use
-Recommend hand washing. Never put in the dishwasher.
-Please dry them thoroughly to protect them from mold.
-Not recommended for use in a microwave.
-Do not use in the oven.
Maintenance tips
To ensure the longevity of your cutting board, we recommend regular maintenance with food-grade mineral oil and beeswax .
- Beeswax : As a preventative measure, apply a thin layer to the surface of the board. Let it soak in for a few hours, then remove the excess with a paper towel. Make sure to use a food-safe beeswax.
- Mineral Oil : As soon as the board shows signs of dryness, generously apply neutral mineral oil. Allow to absorb and reapply if necessary until completely absorbed. Then wipe off any excess. The oil must be food-grade.
- Occasional sanding : Once or twice a year, hand sand with 400-600 grit sandpaper to smooth the surface and close the pores of the wood. Then apply a new coat of beeswax to protect the board.
