Welcome to Ginko Studios' website. Our pottery and tiles are hand-crafted with colored porcelain. The detailed surface designs are created with inlays sliced from nerikome logs. Since the entire clay body is colored through and through, the designs and color of Ginko-ware will never rub off and the fine detail of every piece is dishwasher-safe.

We hope you will enjoy our work whether it be a decoration for your home or office, special-occasion dinner-ware or your favorite everyday coffee mug.
