Sado Mumyoi
Sado Mumyoi is pottery made from the red clay that comes out as a by-product of mining gold at the Aikawa gold mine on Sado Island.
What Sado Mumyoi is
On Sado itself this clay is called shudei, but at HOJO we call it red clay.
The red clay of Sado holds a great deal of iron, and unglazed pottery fired from it at high temperature is what is called Mumyoi.
