To honor its connection to the land, he stamps the back of each piece with the latitude and longitude of where the clay was harvested.

In oxidation, transparent glazes with iron take on a reddish tone, while in reduction they shift green. White glazes also differ—reduction draws out more iron, producing a deeper character. The firing method even influences shape: reduction often yields a slightly more open rim and flatter profile. These subtle chemical changes are part of pottery’s unique beauty—no two pieces are ever quite the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Colors may vary slightly depending on your monitor.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Each piece is handmade; color, texture, and shape will vary slightly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt his studio One Kiln Ceramics Kido-san creates handmade pottery that evokes the beauty of his native Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/our-producers\/one-kiln-ceramics\"\u003eLearn more about One Kiln Ceramics\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"One Kiln Ceramics","offers":[{"title":"Small \/ RF White","offer_id":42534503907391,"sku":"OneKiln Bounotsu Clay Bowl RF White S 120mm x 60mm","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ OF Clear","offer_id":42534503874623,"sku":"OneKiln Bounotsu Clay Bowl OF Clear S 120mm x 60mm","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ RF White","offer_id":42534503972927,"sku":"One Kiln Bounotsu Clay Bowl RF White M 175mm x 70mm","price":82.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium \/ OF Clear","offer_id":42534503940159,"sku":"OneKiln Bounotsu Clay Bowl OF Clear M 175mm x 70mm","price":82.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1218\/6304\/files\/Bowl_6_0e0c1e48-41d9-475f-84be-e1488f3c3d2c.jpg?v=1764018962","url":"https:\/\/thejapanesepantry.com\/products\/bounotsu-clay-rice-bowl","provider":"The Japanese Pantry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
