Shigaraki Ceramic Magnet by Cohana
This chic magnet is made of authentic Shigaraki ware in the shape of a button. Finished with a simple glaze and fired to perfection, this earthy magnet embodies the Japanese sense of wabi-sabi, or the beauty of rustic simplicity.
Shigaraki Ware Button Magnets are manufactured by Meizan Gama, one of the world's oldest ceramics companies. They have been firing Shigaraki ware in the town of Koka since 1622, and put great care into their choice of clay and glaze to craft these unique button-shaped magnets.
The Shigaraki Ware Button Magnet is strong enough to hold lightly magnetic objects with ease, and makes for an excellent pincushion or needle minder. It can also be used as a decorative magnet.

Its tasteful appearance is associated with the spirit of "wabi and sabi," and many masterpieces of tea ceremony utensils have been produced. At Meizangama Pottery, skilled craftsmen continue to create warm works of art while dealing with the living creature called clay.

about our fabrics
For the past 12 years, we've been experimenting and refining our processes to work with the best natural fibers available. We select our materials for their durability, comfort, aesthetic properties, and the conditions in which they were produced. We prioritize suppliers located near our workshop. Many of our jerseys and knits are made in Canada, while some woven fabrics come from the United States. For more specialized materials, we work with Japan and certain European countries (mainly Italy and northern countries). It is essential for us to ensure that workers' conditions are fair, and the best way to be sure is to choose countries that have a charter of individual rights that resembles ours!
