Normally, wood-fired kilns are fired for 2-3 days, but Mr. Seikou's signature Nanban Yakishime is fired for 10 days straight.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDozens of tons of firewood are consumed in a single firing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Moriokas use a very demanding production method. They have provided us with vibrant pieces that convey the energy of the flames in the kiln. \u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a Nanban Yakishime western-style plate. It is a very easy-to-use shape and size, highly recommended for those who want to try yakishime for the first time.

They are particularly prone to oil stains when first used, but by continuing to use them without worrying, they will blend in overall and the vessel will develop beautifully. If you are concerned, soak the vessel in water before use and wipe it dry to make it less prone to change.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-fragment=\"1\"\u003emicrowaves,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eovens, and open flames.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*We do not accept returns or refunds.
