The distinctive textures and wabi-sabi aesthetic of this classic, everyday donabe pot make every meal an encounter with the essence of beauty in imperfection. 

Aside from typical hotpot dishes such as sukiyaki and shabu-shabu, this Iga-yaki clay pot can also be used for making piping-hot stews or steamed dishes. 

The brush strokes, called hakeme, on the pot’s surface are an ancient type of decoration originating on the Korean Peninsula. White clay is brushed on the pot using a paint brush, after which a clear glaze is applied over the entire surface.
