Because it was shipped from Imari Port, it is also called "Imari" or Imari-yaki. It uses Izumiyama stone and Amakusa stone as raw materials, but they are used differently depending on the type of porcelain. The works are broadly classified into early Imari, Ko-Kutani style, Kakiemon style, and Kinrande (gold brocade) depending on the manufacturing period and style. In addition, there are works that only baked high-quality products for presentation, and those of the Nabeshima clan in the domain kiln are called "Nabeshima style," and those presented to the Imperial Family are called "Kinri style." Until the production of porcelain began in various places in the late Edo period, Arita was the only place in Japan that continued to produce porcelain for a long time. Designated as a traditional craft product by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry on October 14, 1977 (Showa 52). ② Mino-yaki cherry blossom flowing small bowls, diameter 14cm, height 4cm, 2 pieces ・Mino-yaki is pottery made in the Tono region of Gifu Prefecture. It blends into modern life while being supported by history and tradition. The characteristic of Mino-yaki is the existence of various types. Mino-yaki does not have a single style, and 15 types are designated as traditional crafts. The representative one is "Oribe," established by Sen no Rikyu and created by the aesthetics of Furuta Oribe. It was mainly fired during the Tensho era, so it is also called Tensho Kuro and Hikidashi Kuro. The deep green glaze, unique shapes, and geometric patterns are attractive, and there are types such as Kuro Oribe, Ao Oribe, and So Oribe depending on the style. Also, "Shino" is considered a groundbreaking pottery in the history of Japanese pottery in that the painting is applied under the glaze. The pale red color is beautiful, and it has a bubbly texture due to the feldspar glaze. The peak of Shino was the Momoyama period. Toyozo Arakawa, a Living National Treasure, made efforts to reproduce Shino, which had once disappeared in the Edo period, and it still lives on today. Similarly, "Kizeto," which has been re-noticed in modern times, has a modest and simple charm and is a popular Mino-yaki. We also sell in bulk We have a lot of items on display!
