This piece originates from the historic kilns of the Tajimi region, an area whose very foundations are built on millennia of pottery making. During the turbulent Azuchi-Momoyama period (late 16th century), master potters fleeing war found sanctuary here. Supported by powerful warlords like Oda Nobunaga and visionary tea masters, they abandoned perfect symmetry to embrace the dramatic, irregular beauty of nature.
