The Enduring Legacy of historic Tajimi ceramic

The 'Crescent Moon' plate is a proud example of historic Tajimi ceramic (traditional Tajimi pottery), one of Japan's most celebrated ceramic traditions. Its rich history dates back to the Momoyama period, flourishing alongside the rise of the tea ceremony. Primarily produced in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture, historic Tajimi ceramic was cherished by tea masters during the era that gave birth to Japan's profound 'wabi-sabi' aesthetic.

historic Tajimi ceramic is renowned for its remarkable diversity, encompassing distinct styles such as the refined pale yellow of Kise-Seto, the lustrous black of Seto-guro, the soft milky white of Shino-yaki, and the distinctive green patterns of Oribe-yaki. Today, historic Tajimi ceramic is deeply woven into the fabric of Japanese daily life, accounting for over half of the nation's ceramic production – a testament to its enduring quality and artistry.
