MASHIKO COLORS

Traditional Glazes of Mashiko Ware

Nukajiro
糠白
The glaze most loved in Mashiko, made from rice-bran ash. Its soft, milky white suits the everyday table.
Kaki
柿
A warm reddish brown, produced when clay containing iron is fired in oxidation.
Ame
飴
An iron glaze with an amber shine. It changes with the angle of the light, and its deep gloss sets off the food.
Seiji
青磁
A clear blue-green, from a trace of iron dissolved in an ash glaze. Its tranquil color brings a crisp air to the table.
Kuro
黒
A jet black born of layers of iron and ash. A strong yet quiet presence that makes any dish stand out.
Namijiro
並白
A simple glaze of ash and feldspar. Its faintly greenish white conveys the feel of Mashiko clay just as it is.

ABOUT

About Toko

Exterior of Toko Gallery, a wooden merchant house built in the late Taisho era, on Jonaizaka in Mashiko

Toko opened in 1974 in a converted rice storehouse of Oya stone facing Jonaizaka Street. In 1995 the main house was moved and joined to the stone storehouse, giving the building its present form, which received the Tochigi Marronnier Architecture Award (1995). We carry the work of more than 30 Mashiko potters and hold a new exhibition about every two weeks, over 1,000 to date. You can also visit the Yoshimichi Goda Memorial Room, and see the tableware of our own brand, Sayado Wadagama.
