Hi, everyone!

Do you know "Hasami porcelain"?

You may have heard of Arita, Imari, or Kutani porcelain.

In fact,  many Japanese people do not know this porcelain.

 

The reason of this is its region and history.

The producing area of Hasami porcelain is the neighbor of Arita porcelain and Imari porcelain.

In Edo era to Meiji era, (about 200~400 years ago) ceramics were exported in the name of the port or station of dispatch. So, Hasami porcelain was exported as the name of "Arita porcelain" or "Imari porcelain."

 

However, Hasami porcelain has been got attention now!

With the 400 years7 history and inherited skill, various ateliers start to offer stylish tableware for modern lifestyle.
