Fascinated by slipwear

I happened to pick up a slipware book at my university library. He was struck by the variety of slip containers on there and was completely fascinated by them. Currently, I am pursuing an unprecedented expression of slipwear by combining slipwear techniques and newly learned painting techniques.

Ayano Arai's slipwear soba choko


A slip that embodies a unique sensibility

Slipware is made by layering a layer of makeup soil on top of a cream-like makeup soil (slip, slurry) made by adding water to soil, decorating it, and then baking it. Just looking at the bold composition, delicate and sophisticated design, and vivid yet calming colors and colors will captivate your heart.

Admiring beauty

Despite the highly difficult technique, which requires the artist to finish the design before the makeup clay dries, and because he is unable to draw a rough sketch, he was captivated by the delicate and dynamic depiction.

Ayano Arai's slipware soba choko and medium plate


For a heart-rich dining table

A lovely medium plate with a modern and classy flower pattern in calming colors . Just having them on the table naturally makes me feel better.

Ayano Arai's slipware container
Because each piece is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, uneven glaze, glaze pools, stone gaps, slight wobble, and patterns. In addition, there may be differences in the degree of glaze application, penetration, pinholes, and iron powder (black spots), but this does not cause any problems with use. Please enjoy the unique expression that can only be achieved by handmade products. Although you cannot choose which item you receive, we hope that you will look forward to receiving it. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us before shipping and we will email you a separate photo.

Recommended care methods and precautions from Ayano Arai
〇In order to use it for a long time, we recommend sealing it before use. 〇Please refrain from using gold-colored items in the microwave. Also, please note that the gold may peel off if you wash it too hard. We recommend washing with a soft sponge and a neutral kitchen detergent instead of using abrasives. After washing, please dry thoroughly before storing.

Understanding about “Utsuwa”
〇As each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, weight, etc. Also, even with the same glaze or clay, uneven colors and shading will appear.
〇As each piece is hand-painted, the expression may vary.
〇Due to the manufacturing process, small holes, small black spots, line scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbles, and distortions may be seen depending on the product.
〇Product images are processed to be as close to the actual color as possible, but the color and texture may appear different depending on the display screen of your computer or smartphone.
〇At our store, we deliver products that have not only been inspected by the manufacturer, pottery, and artist, but also passed a final inspection at our store.
〇Product photos are sample photos, so the items you receive will not be the same in every detail.
〇We do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer convenience. Please understand and understand this before purchasing.
〇We would be happy if you could enjoy the ``taste'' and ``interest'' that are unique to handmade products that cannot be found in factory mass-produced products!
