A Tamba Tachikui ware kiln based in Tanba Sasayama, Hyogo Prefecture. A three-generation studio specializing in flower pots, where the founder Denichi Ichino created the "Denichi Hachi" pot at the request of mountain wildflower enthusiasts. Clay from Tamba, blended with rice husks and sand in the studio's own formula, is wheel-thrown and fired in multiple kilns. The pots are prized for their functional beauty—from drainage holes to foot rings—designed with plant growth as the top priority, earning fans ranging from wildflower growers to succulent plant collectors.
