Shigaraki Ware Button Magnet - Cohana - Yellow

This chic magnet is made of authentic Shigaraki ware in the shape of a button. Finished with a simple glaze and fired to perfection, this earthy magnet embodies the Japanese sense of wabi-sabi, or the beauty of rustic simplicity.

Shigaraki Ware Button Magnets are manufactured by Meizan Gama, one of the world's oldest ceramics companies. They have been firing Shigaraki ware in the town of Koka since 1622, and put great care into their choice of clay and glaze to craft these unique button-shaped magnets.

The Shigaraki Ware Button Magnet is strong enough to hold lightly magnetic objects with ease, and makes for an excellent pincushion or needle minder. It can also be used as a decorative magnet.
