Upon returning home safely, they would bring back sand from their journey and return it, doubling the amount, in a ritual called "Osuna-gaeshi no Gi" (Returning the Sand Ceremony), which was a religious custom. Around the Tenmei and Kansei eras, it is said that Osuna-yaki originated from the creation of ceremonial vessels for grand festivals using this "Osuna" (sacred sand). In the Bunsei era, Lord Asano Nariyoshi had tea utensils made by mixing this "Osuna," which is the beginning of Miyajima-yaki. When Miyajima-yaki was revived during the Meiji and Taisho periods, techniques from Kyo-yaki and Hagi-yaki were incorporated in addition to the traditional techniques. #tea_bowl #MATCHA Ceramics Tea Ceremony Tea Utensils Tableware Tousai Kawahara Pottery Ceramics Traditional Crafts Hiroshima Prefecture Collection Marked Artist's Work Glaze Retro Vintage Kiln for Itsukushima Shrine Type...Pottery Type...Tea Bowl Type...Matcha Bowl Pottery...Hagi-yaki
