Rediscovering the Iga Pottery Tradition

Located south of Nagoya, the town of Iga is renown as one the world’s oldest kiln sites.  For many, Iga ware embodies the essence of Japanese ceramics. The clay is naturally porous and ideal for cookware as the small air pockets allows for even and fragrant slow cooking. As a brand, Iga Mono has revived these centuries old ceramic materials and techniques of the Iga region with a contemporary touch. Iga Mono donabes have since become a staple in many Japanese kitchens.
