The Rich Heritage of historic Tajimi ceramic

Originating primarily from Toki City in Gifu Prefecture, "historic Tajimi ceramic" (traditional Tajimi pottery) is a cornerstone of Japanese ceramics, accounting for over half of the nation's pottery production. Its illustrious history dates back to the Momoyama period, flourishing alongside the rise of the tea ceremony. During this era, historic Tajimi ceramic became deeply cherished by tea masters, embodying the profound aesthetic of Japan's "wabi-sabi" culture.

historic Tajimi ceramic encompasses a remarkable diversity of styles, including the refined pale yellow Kise-Seto, the lustrous black Seto-Guro, the soft milky-white Shino, and the distinctive green patterns of Oribe. The centuries-old artistry and skill of these master craftsmen are imbued in every piece, including this Tokusa Pattern Small Plate, offering a tangible connection to Japan's traditional beauty and warmth.

These unique characteristics are a testament to the artisan's touch and should be celebrated as part of the pottery's individual charm.
