Beauty Reflecting the Seasons
Excellence in Craftsmanship
Located along the ancient road leading to Kiyomizu Temple, Taihei Kiln displays its “Kyo-yaki Hirano” banner with pride.
Inside the showroom, a wide variety of distinctive Japanese tableware is showcased, delighting every visitor.
This historic kiln has been passed down through generations, supplying tableware to ryotei (traditional restaurants) and inns, continuously supporting the creativity of chefs.
(From stoneware to earthenware, they create a wide range of ceramics. Without an explanation, it’s often hard to discern their uses...)
The history of Kiyomizu ware, which has evolved in parallel with the history of Kyoto cuisine, is etched into the kiln’s tableware.
In pottery, even a single form can be shaped using various techniques, such as wheel throwing, slab construction, or slip casting.
The colors and decorations that express the seasonal beauty essential to Japanese tableware are also diverse.
Taihei Kiln masters all these techniques to meet the high demands of various chefs.
(Many samples are kept in stock so that pieces can be reproduced at any time.)
Far from being a jack-of-all-trades, Taihei Kiln consistently provides the quality that satisfies the discerning eye of professionals.
Their tableware exudes dignity and elegance, evoking the feeling of viewing masterpieces that have made their mark on history.
