A Blend of Tradition and Artistry

Nestled in the Tochigi Prefecture, specifically in the region surrounding Mashiko Town, this traditional craftsman’s culture shines through every piece of pottery produced here.

Each dish features the adorable face of Monchhichi, ensuring a smile whenever you use them.

MASHICO has introduced seven different colors to celebrate the character and artistry of these dishes. The colors include traditional glazes that reflect the rich heritage of Mashiko ceramics. From the warm amber and deep black to the soft white and light blue, the dishes are enhanced with three more vibrant shades: yellow, pink, and mint green. Artisans skillfully glaze each dish, providing them with a unique touch and warmth that can only come from handcrafting.
