A New Material for Future Creation.
WEISS TON is a clay brand developed from 100% Hanasaka pottery stone, aunique ceramic resource found in Komatsu, Ishikawa, Japan.
For generations, Hanasaka pottery stone has supported the production of Kutani ware. WEISS TON was created to rediscover the value of this material itself and connect its potential to future forms of creativity.
We see raw materials not simply as ingredients, but as carriers of culture,history, and place.
WEISS TON is an invitation to experience the material at the origin of Kutaniware.

The Material Behind Kutani Ware
Hanasaka pottery stone has long served as one of the essential materials used in Kutani ware production.
While the finished works are celebrated, the material that makes them possible often remains unseen.
We believe that the value of Kutani ware begins with its materials.
WEISS TON places Hanasaka pottery stone at the center of the story, revealing the beauty and potential of the material itself.

WEISS TON is developed using 100% Hanasaka pottery stone.
This is not simply a technical specification.
It reflects our commitment to preserving the material’s original character, texture, color, and potential.

To understand a material is to understand the culture and landscape from which it comes.
