About Us

Our Mission

Seasonal Clay Market's mission is to bring the beauty of Japan's four seasons to the world through pottery carefully crafted by regional artisans. We aim to be a bridge connecting artisans and users by proposing practical vessels that harmonize with modern life while inheriting traditional techniques.

We value the thoughts and techniques that artisans put into each piece, and by delivering them to customers at fair prices, we contribute to the sustainable development of ceramic culture.

Deep Partnerships with Artisans

We carefully select artisans with traditional techniques cultivated over many years in each region as our partners. We conduct direct transactions with artisans who inherit distinctive ceramic techniques from various parts of Japan, such as Bizen-yaki, Kutani-yaki, and Kiyomizu-yaki, achieving fair-price trading.

Through regular workshop visits, we build trust relationships with artisans and develop products that leverage each artisan's individuality and techniques. Supporting artisans' livelihoods and assisting in the inheritance of traditional techniques is also an important role for us.

Quality Management and Sustainability

Unified Quality Standards

All products meet our unique quality standards, combining practicality that withstands daily use with beauty.

Environmental Consideration

We emphasize environmentally conscious sustainable manufacturing processes and value passing on beautiful traditions to the next generation.

Traditional Technique Inheritance

Through support for young artisan development and technique inheritance programs, we support the future of Japanese ceramic culture.

Innovative Service Development

Through planning and selling limited collections aligned with the four seasons, achieving fair prices through direct transactions with artisans, providing continuous encounters with pottery through subscription services, corporate gift and wholesale services, and information dissemination about artisan stories and pottery care methods, we convey the appeal of ceramics from multiple angles.

We also strive to spread ceramic culture by diversifying customer touchpoints through creating new purchasing experiences that blend online and offline, providing customization services, and holding ceramic experience workshops.

Global Expansion and Regional Contribution

Based in the UK, we communicate the excellence of Japanese traditional ceramics to the world. Through product development that meets international quality standards, multilingual customer support, and overseas shipping system development, we deliver Japanese pottery to customers worldwide.

At the same time, we return part of our sales to regional ceramic education support and cultural preservation activities, contributing to regional revitalization through ceramics. We aim to build a sustainable business model where tradition and innovation harmonize by deepening cooperation with artisan communities.
