Ihoshiro Kiln Pin Badge - 7 Options / イホシロ窯 ピンバッジ tuyu-kinari 6 cm Diameter x 5With the idea of creating exciting pottery by hand, IHOSHIRO Kiln in Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture, is a kiln that handmade every piece of chopstick rest and pin badge and uses almost 100% solar energy to fire them. "A little delicate work will determine the cuteness and quality, so I try to convey my feelings to the shape. And we do not use mass production or machining methods; we just make it by hand. " said the founder of this lovely kiln.
