The Enduring Legacy of historic Tajimi ceramic

This exquisite small plate hails from the renowned tradition of historic Tajimi ceramic (traditional Tajimi pottery), a ceramic art form that accounts for over half of Japan's total pottery production. Originating in the Momoyama period (16th century) with the flourishing of the tea ceremony, historic Tajimi ceramic has been predominantly crafted in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture. It was particularly cherished by tea masters during the golden age of Japan's wabi-sabi culture, embodying a profound appreciation for rustic simplicity and understated beauty.

The rich heritage of historic Tajimi ceramic encompasses diverse styles, each reflecting unique Japanese aesthetics. Notable examples include the elegant pale yellow Kise-Seto, the lustrous black Seto-guro, the soft milky white Shino, and the distinctive green patterns of Oribe. Our Indigo Auspicious Motif Small Plate continues this storied tradition, bringing a piece of Japanese history and artistry to your home.
