At the foot of Mount Horai, just a short distance from Lake Biwa, Shiro Shimizu has established his kiln.

Guided by his philosophy of “never buying clay, but digging it myself,” Shimizu-san creates everything from tea ceremony wares to sculptural objects, allowing the character of the earth itself to guide the work. We are deeply drawn to the powerful, distinctive expressions that emerge from this intimate relationship with the soil.

Among his creations, the cube-shaped works possess an especially striking presence. Free from prescribed rules of placement or function, they invite the viewer’s imagination to wander.

Whether placed at the heart of a space as a work of art, or used as a pedestal to display a vase, floral arrangement, or other object, these pieces reveal their full character in a wide variety of settings.

*Due to the handcrafted nature of these pieces, there may be individual variations in size, shape, glaze application, and color.
The actual product may differ slightly from the photographs.
