The Legacy of historic Tajimi ceramic

Our Black Kiln Glaze Reversible Square Plate is a testament to the enduring legacy of historic Tajimi ceramic (traditional Tajimi pottery), one of Japan's most revered traditional ceramic arts. Originating in the distinguished Momoyama period, historic Tajimi ceramic flourished primarily in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture. Its development was intrinsically linked to the rise of the tea ceremony, becoming a cherished favorite among tea masters who embraced Japan's profound 'wabi-sabi' aesthetic.

historic Tajimi ceramic is celebrated for its remarkable diversity, encompassing a rich array of distinctive styles. These include the refined pale yellow of Kise-Seto, the lustrous jet-black sheen of Seto-Guro, the soft, milky white elegance of Shino, and the unique, vibrant green of Oribe. Today, historic Tajimi ceramic continues to be a cornerstone of Japanese daily life, accounting for over half of all ceramic tableware produced in the country.
