Typically, wood-fired kilns are fired for 2 to 3 days, but Seikou's signature Nanban Yakishime is fired continuously for 10 days.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-utf-8\"\u003eDozens of tons of firewood are consumed in a single firing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Morioka couple's production method is thus very demanding. They have delivered vibrant works that convey the energy of the flames inside the kiln. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a Western-style plate made with Nanban Yakishime. Its extremely easy-to-use shape and size make it highly recommended for those who want to try Yakishime for the first time. It was also the most popular item among customers who purchased Seikou's works for the first time at our store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shop owner used it when eating curry at home, and the surface, which had been used for decades, was glossy and lacquer-like. It was also pleasant to the spoon, and I fell in love with it at first sight. The Western-style plates are popular and hard to come by.

Especially when first used, oil stains are easily absorbed, but by using it constantly without worrying, the entire piece will blend in and the vessel will develop beautifully.
