[12th Generation Toshizaemon Takemura] Karatsu ware
There is a theory that the origins of Karatsu ware date back to the Muromachi and Momoyama periods.
Hasami ware was first produced in the late Tensho period, during the Korean War, when the lord of Omura clan, accompanied by Lee Yu-kyung and others, opened a kiln in Muraki, Hasami, and produced pottery in yellow, blue, black, powdered, and painted Karatsu styles.
In the classification of Karatsu ware, it is considered Hiradokyo, and over the years it has changed from clay to semi-porcelain to porcelain.
In the mid-Edo period, Rizaemon Kiln spread widely through Sakai and played a key role in the development of the domain's ceramics industry, and has continued to grow alongside the production area to the present day.
The kiln was named after the Yamahokora monument, and the kiln returned to its early days of earthenware, focusing on the quality of the earthenware and creating Karatsu ware.

It can also be ordered as a set of several bowls.
