🌸 The Synonym for Japanese Ceramics The Hometown of Maneki-neko—Seto Ware ✨ Originating from Seto City and its surroundings in Aichi Prefecture, Seto ware dates back to the Kamakura period and is recognized as one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns. Seto ware was an early pioneer in glazing techniques and gained popularity for its ceramic Maneki-neko, to the point where "Seto-mono" became synonymous with ceramics. It was designated a Japanese Traditional Craft in 1977 and became part of the Japan Heritage in 2017.
