🌸 The very essence of Japanese ceramics Seto-yaki, from the historic land of pottery ✨ Seto-yaki is the collective term for ceramics produced in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, and its surrounding areas. Originating in the Kamakura period, it is one of Japan's six ancient kilns, boasting a history of 1,300 years. In 1977, Seto-yaki was designated a Japanese Traditional Craft by the Japanese government, and in 2017, it was recognized as a "Japan Heritage." It is also known as the birthplace of glazed pottery and ceramic beckoning cats, earning it the title "Hometown of Maneki-neko." In Japanese, "Setomono" has become synonymous with ceramics, highlighting its widespread recognition and representative status. 🍂 Nishiki-iro Seasonal Orbs: Capturing the Essence of Every Season Elegant Setohara Nishiki-iro sometsuke painting captures the beauty of each season with exceptional sensibility and delicate artistry.
