The Echizen Kawara Ceramic Pen Tray – Yakishime Clay is a Japanese pen tray handcrafted by Echizen Seramika in Fukui, Japan.
Made in the same way as traditional Echizen Kawara roof tiles, this piece highlights the natural beauty of clay through the yakishime firing method—an unglazed, high-temperature process that brings out a rich, earthy tone and smooth texture unique to Echizen craftsmanship. Its warm, natural color reflects the quiet dignity and timeless beauty of Japanese rooftops.

For decades, the artisans of Echizen Seramika have created roof tiles that protect temples and homes across Japan. Today, they carry that legacy forward by transforming the spirit of roof tiles into refined Japanese desk accessories that bring a sense of calm and warmth to the modern workspace. The tray’s matte finish and gentle curves express the serene balance between strength and simplicity found in traditional craftsmanship.

Originally designed as a small dish, this piece can also be used for serving food or holding accessories, blending functionality with the quiet artistry of Japanese design. Whether on your desk or dining table, it embodies the enduring connection between Japan’s architectural heritage and daily life.

Echizen Seramika — From Roof to Desk

Founded in 1952 in snowy Fukui, Echizen Seramika has long protected Japanese homes and temples with its resilient roof tiles. Made from iron-rich Echizen clay and fired at around 1200 °C, these tiles develop a distinctive silvery-gray hue known as gin-nezumi, a quiet color that has shaped Japan’s traditional landscapes for centuries. Today, the artisans of Echizen Seramika have transformed this heritage into contemporary tableware and decorative pieces that celebrate the beauty of earthen craftsmanship.

At Komorebi Stationery, we have reimagined this material and craft through a different lens—creating pen trays and paperweights that bring the enduring strength and understated grace of Japanese rooftops to the creative desk. Each piece carries the wisdom and artistry of generations, connecting your daily writing space with the timeless craftsmanship that once sheltered Japan’s homes.
