Fukubeya Takadayaki Ceramic Condiment Container Traditional Japanese Folk Craft Stylish and Cute Design Perfect Gift (Salt)

Condiment containers, a traditional Japanese folk craft, are now very popular for their fresh and stylish designs. Takada ware, which originated in the Takada district of Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture, was known for producing tools closely related to daily life, such as lidded containers for pickles and seasoning containers. There are five types in total: soy sauce dispenser, salt shaker, pepper shaker, shichimi shaker, and toothpick holder. Now is the time to enjoy using these tools. This cute spice container makes a wonderful gift for friends and loved ones. *Before use, be sure to wash thoroughly with detergent and allow to dry completely. The distinctive feature of Takada ware is that it uses blue clay called aoto, which is mined in Takata. This clay is sticky and fine-grained, so when it is fired carefully, it hardens and becomes almost non-absorbent, resulting in pottery with excellent strength.
