Refined forms demand specialized expertise

A world without gloss or color - at first this may sound bleak or cold, but with the cekitay series, only soft shadows are needed to create a quiet space where time slows down.
The immense precision required for the refined forms of series such as the unglazed 'Hakusa' or matte-glazed 'Ishi' are the culmination of expertise developed exclusively at Kyoto-Yogyo.

Established in 1947, the company has gained widespread trust over the past 70 years, consistently delivering quality products tailored to the needs of the time by combining new materials and methods with age-old techniques.

Take, for example, the roller hearth kiln (RHK) adopted in 2000, which not only cuts firing time by around 1/3 to 1/4 but also provides a consistent temperature within the kiln for a beautiful finish without color blemishes.
While other kilns will leave a yellowish tint on white glaze, the RHK creates the exquisite finish and stately appearance of the cekitay series.

Although there are many manufacturers specializing in product parts, Kyoto-Yogyo make all parts in-house because they seek to be able to satisfy even the most involved requests.
This has increased their technological competence, which leads to even more complex requests, building a cycle of development and long-term trust.

The company actively advances the development of new skills, recently recruiting skilled slip casting artisans and experimenting with lower kiln temperatures to expand the palette of color glazes.

Matte finish and an absence of color paired with a texture reminiscent of stone define this tableware series, allowing you to recreate the expression of a Zen garden on your table.
Curves and lines reminiscent of the waves of a Zen garden create delicate surface shadows, exuding an aura of peace and tranquility.
