波佐見の陶器

Hasami Pottery

Until the discovery of potter's stone and the start of porcelain production about 400 years ago, the town of Hasami was already producing pottery using clay. The unique and varied techniques and individual expressions of the potters are a crowning feature of Hasami pottery, with some of the traditional production using clay still being carried out today.

Sabi Tokusa

This series is characterized by its rounded form and folk art-like texture, carefully hand-painted with traditional Japanese 'Tokusa' patterns. By intentionally using soil mixed with sand and iron, the wares and tea utensils have a warm feel reminiscent of Japanese folk art.
