Jewelry case - Zodiac sign, Rooster by Taihei-kiln

Elegance Imbued in Simple Colors

The Essence of Refined Kyoto Pottery

Crafted by Taihei Kiln, a renowned Kyoto pottery workshop that carries on the tradition of Kyoto and Kiyomizu ceramics, this series of small lidded boxes represents the zodiac signs with intricate designs.

The warm ivory color is a traditional hue known as "Kōrai," inspired by East Asian pottery traditions.

Crafted from carefully selected clay and glaze by Taizo Hirano, the head of Taihei Kiln, the piece boasts an ivory-like texture that radiates a luxurious feel.

The golden accents are made from high-purity gold materials, imparting a refined, sophisticated shine to the design.

The animal features are sculpted with intricate detail using only ivory and shadows, allowing for a rich and thoughtful design.

This compact yet striking box is perfect for storing accessories or precious items, combining practicality with elegance.

It also makes an ideal gift, especially for those celebrating their zodiac year.

 

Owner's Comment

Incense holders are traditionally used in tea ceremonies, but their elegant design and hand-sized proportions make them beloved beyond their intended use.

With its simple yet refined texture, it also complements home decor beautifully.
