Yamatada Katoen, which has been making pottery such as mortar and grater for generations since 1794 in the historical pottery producing area. Mino is can be traced back to the middle of the Heian period. It is a mortar made by Mr. Tomoya Kato who is its seventh owner.
As customers asked him to make a "left-handed mortar," he tried every trial and continued pursuing a beautifully balanced appearance even more firmly wearing a comb, regardless of which direction we turn right or left.
And, it was completed over 9 years, this mortar of "ripple comb" (hamon-kushime) by five combs of straight lines and curved lines.
While looking at the beauty of appearance, you can slide smoothly without choosing your handedness, even if you do not put on your strength. Because it can slide firmly without missing frictional force, it is recommended for those who are left-handed, as well as for women and older people.
As always, I am very satisfied.
The workmanship and materials used are of exceptional quality. Each piece has its own unique character, which I greatly appreciate.

The craftsmanship is beautiful, and the selection in the store is great. I was particularly impressed with the Dobai Hanten Donabe L and the JUJU Mortier Mortar. I understand that it was the spring holidays, the store was closed until May 6th, and you probably received a lot of orders. However, after the package was shipped, it still took more than a week to arrive.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would continue to order from you in the future.
Thank you again for your products and services.
