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.
