Zoho Kiln / 蔵珍窯

A defining characteristic of Zoho-gama’s tableware is its striking use of red, crafted with bengara(紅柄) pigment through a meticulous process spanning 1,000 days. This distinctive red not only brings vibrancy to each piece but also transforms over time in the hands of its user, deepening into a rich patina with continued use. The bengara used at Zoho-gama is no longer produced and cannot be found on the market, making it an incredibly rare and treasured material—a true "phantom red."
