Ohmi Ceramics

Yes.
Ohmi Japanese pottery is safe for both microwave and dishwasher use. However, we recommend placing pieces with care, avoid stacking or allowing them to knock against one another, as ceramic can chip under pressure.

For best results, always refer to the care guide provided with each item, as some pieces may require extra attention depending on shape or finish.

Absolutely.
Japanese pottery is made for everyday use.
Whether it’s your morning pottery coffee mug or a sushi plate shared over dinner, Ohmi Ceramics is designed to bring quiet presence to your routine.

With gentle care and mindful storage, these pieces will serve you beautifully for years.

Absolutely.
Thoughtful, elegant, and made to last, Ohmi Ceramics creations make meaningful ceramic gifts for birthdays, weddings, or quiet celebrations. From a Japanese ceramic teacup to a hand-shaped vase, each piece carries presence and care.

The collection’s signature flower frogs, designed for dried flowers or incense sticks, offer a sculptural alternative to the traditional kenzan used in ikebana. While kenzan anchors stems in water, these are for dry arrangements—light, minimal, and poetic.

Whether you choose a set of ceramic coffee cups or a distinctive chawanmushi cup, this Japanese pottery collection offers something rare: Japanese gifts with beauty that speaks softly and stays with you.

Ohmi Ceramics stands apart for its quiet refinement and attention to detail.
Big numbers are not part of the picture here, the focus is on uncompromised quality.

Handcrafted in Kusatsu, not far from the shores of Lake Biwa, each creation is shaped by the Yamamoto family and fired using local clay and time-honored techniques passed down from father to son.

What truly sets it apart is the signature black pottery, with its rough yet elegant surface and minimalist forms that still echo Japanese tradition.

Let’s be clear: these are not ordinary tableware pieces, but everyday companions made with purpose.
From modern ceramic espresso cups to tradition-rooted sushi plates, this Japanese pottery speaks through texture and quiet presence, offering form, function, and feeling.

Start by thinking about your daily habits; how you eat, what you serve, and the mood you want to create.

A sushi plate isn’t only for sushi; it can elegantly present cheeses, handmade bites, or even appetizers at your next gathering.
A Japanese ceramic bowl works perfectly for breakfast cereal, a one-serving salad, or a fresh fruit mix.

Look for versatility too. Ceramic coffee mugs can just as easily become tea mugs. Even ceramic espresso cups can hold your daily matcha or serve as a delicate dessert cup.

And beyond the table, consider adding a flower frog, a sculptural piece that doubles as an incense holder, a dried flower base, or a minimalist object of decor. With Japanese pottery, practicality and beauty go hand in hand.

Absolutely.
Japanese pottery pairs beautifully with modern or rustic Western pieces, creating a table that feels thoughtful and unique.

Picture a hand-thrown chawanmushi cup alongside matte-finish flatware, or a sushi plate arranged with cheeses and olives. The contrast between raw textures and smooth lines adds visual richness and story.

Whether your home leans toward minimalism or mixes vintage and modern, combining Japanese tableware with your existing dishes creates harmony through contrast. There are no rules, just your taste and the atmosphere you want to create.

Choose what feels good in your hands, and make the table yours.

Yes.
These handcrafted pieces are as versatile as they are beautiful.
A ceramic coffee mug becomes an impromptu vase for fresh herbs or wildflowers. A shallow Japanese ceramic teacup or bowl finds new purpose as a home for jewelry or keepsakes.
Even a sushi plate can take on new life as a base for candles or as a minimalist display on your shelf. With Japanese pottery, function and aesthetics go hand in hand, turning everyday objects into quiet moments of beauty.
