About us

Hello. This is Shikioriori.

The husband and wife duo launched their online store in 2020 with the desire to deliver pottery, porcelain, and household items from Japan and around the world based on the concept of "a moment to enjoy the changing seasons."

Before starting the online store, both of us were office workers and had spent a long time living abroad, so whenever we had the time, we would travel to various countries, mainly in Asia, to eat and visit various general stores. There, we saw and touched tableware and general goods with designs unique to each country, and we began to feel that the motifs that are rarely seen in Japan were unique and interesting.

On the other hand , I had many opportunities to visit various parts of Japan, and this time I started to turn my attention to Japanese things. I was impressed not only by the high quality of each carefully crafted item, but also by the splendor of folk art that continues to preserve traditions, and the depth and breadth of Japanese culture, including the wabi-sabi and kawaii aesthetics that represent the unique Japanese sense of beauty.

It started with us buying our own favorite things, and our desire to let everyone know about these wonderful items and deliver them to them was one of the reasons we started the store, and we've continued to do so to this day.

We try to meet potters and artists as much as possible, visit the places where they are making things, show them their works, and listen to their thoughts. This has been an important style for us even since we started the shop.

Because it is an online shop, we make it easy to understand and simple so that you can take your time looking at the products at home or while traveling. We do not retouch the photos excessively, but take the time to carefully correct them so that the colors and textures are as close to the real thing as possible. We also try to create a shop where you can convey the many thoughts and stories of the creators' works, which are difficult to convey in face-to-face meetings when you don't have time .

We started out as an online store, but after hearing from many customers that they wanted to actually pick up, touch, and see our products, we opened a small store in Kamakura in April 2024. Just like our online store, we hope to create a warm store where the passion of the makers can be conveyed. Please stop by our store if you have the opportunity. We look forward to seeing you.

In our daily lives, there are things that we use, pick up, and see every day. I think that living surrounded by things that we "love" or "favourite" when we happen to see them will naturally make us smile and calm our minds.

I hope to help you find the things you love and like, and gradually add small joys to your daily life.
