Hasami Ware

Yoshiaki Omura, the lord of the Omura realm, brought Hasami Ware, also known as Hasami Yaki in the Japanese ceramics world, from Korean potters in 1598. However, the widespread production didn't start until 1599, a year later. The ascending kiln, which is created by digging a hole in the hillside, was the type of kiln employed at the time. Within Hasami, these kilns were built in Furusaraya, Hatanohara, and Yamanita. Because of this, this ceramic is named after the Hasami region.

Due to its straightforward designs and varied functions, Hasami Ware is popular among young people and minimalists. The beautifully painted ornamentation that is coated with a blue tint is a distinctive feature of Hasami ceramics. And the plate set ought to be made of the type of ceramic Hasami item you usually see in the store.

Hakusan Bloom Hasami Porcelain Plate and Neco Hasami Cat Plate Set are two popular Hasami Ware collectibles. The former hand-painted image of a gorgeous bouquet creates a Northern Europe-inspired ambiance at the dining table, while the latter offers a distinctive shape with cat-like ears that are slightly pointing upward.
