Yanagi Pottery’s work features bold yet carefully considered patterns and functional forms designed with the user in mind. Its three collections showcase distinct techniques and custom-developed glazes, resulting in pieces that invite closer attention.
Carrying on the spirit of Mingei founder Soetsu Yanagi through a family lineage, the artist crafts under the name "Yanagi Pottery." With over 20 years of experience, the studio reinterprets traditional methods through a modern lens to explore new possibilities in ceramics.

A Collection of Three Utsuwa Styles:

Slip
Slipware is a ceramic decoration technique in which a creamy liquid clay, known as slip, is applied to the surface of a piece. Flowing patterns are then created using tools such as droppers or brushes.

Inlay
Inlay is a traditional technique in which grooves or indentations are carved into the surface of a piece and filled with clay or slip in a contrasting color. This process creates distinctive, sharply defined patterns and beautiful contrasts.

Pattern
A decorative technique in which specific motifs or designs are applied to a surface using an established set of rules or methods.

HOZU BAG POP-UP
July 11 – August 13, 2026

We are pleased to present a POP-UP featuring , a Kyoto-based brand that
transforms retired paragliders into thoughtfully crafted bags and everyday accessories.
After years of flight, paraglider fabric eventually reaches the end of its life in the sky. Rather than
treating these materials as waste, HOZU BAG gives them a new purpose—creating
one-of-a-kind bags, furoshiki, and accessories that carry the story of their previous journey.

Born in Kameoka, Kyoto, a region known for its rich paragliding culture, HOZU BAG is rooted in
the belief that well-made materials deserve a second life. Every piece preserves the unique
colors, textures, and character of the original fabric, making no two items exactly alike.

Discover a collection where thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and sustainability come together
for everyday life.

Still Presence - Glass for the Everyday
Taku Eiki
MAY29 FRI - JUL5 SUN, 2026
Temporarily Closed on June 11

We are pleased to present a solo exhibition by Taku Eiki, a glass artist based in Matsumoto, Nagano.

Taku Eiki (RITOGLASS) creates glass vessels using the free-blowing technique. Crafting without molds, he engages directly with the molten glass, breathing life into forms that bear subtle ripples.
In the light, each piece radiates a still presence.

Rather than layering ornamentation, Taku focuses on uncovering the very essence of form. While perfectly functional for the everyday, his vessels possess a beauty that invites contemplation. Blending the warmth of a daily utensil with the serene charm of a work of art, his creations gently harmonize with the landscape of our lives.

Cibone O'TE offers items and galleries that combine lifestyle and craftsmanship. The store primarily sells vessels by Japanese artists. We also have a wide range of meditation items for daily use.

“Kamado-san” is a thick-walled earthenware rice pot made from coarse Iga clay, known for its excellent heat retention. Its double-lid structure—an inner lid and an outer lid—allows you to cook perfectly delicious rice without adjusting the heat, while also preventing boil-overs.

Unlike metal cookware, donabe does not heat up rapidly; instead, it warms slowly and evenly. It also retains heat exceptionally well, staying hot long after being removed from the flame. This combination of “gradual heat absorption” and “long-lasting heat retention” helps draw out the natural umami and sweetness of the rice.

The traditional wisdom of kamado cooking—“start low, then increase the heat…”—is naturally achieved by the donabe itself, without the need for manual heat control.

Available in a range of sizes—from 2-cup to 3-cup and up to 5-cup capacity—you can choose the one that best suits your lifestyle.
