【Limited Year of the Horse Edition】Seto Ware - Nishiki-sai Fuku-Uma (Five Elemental Horses with Base & Stand)

🌸 The Epitome of Japanese Ceramics The Homeland of Maneki-neko—Seto Ware ✨ Originating from Seto City and its surrounding areas in Aichi Prefecture, Seto ware dates back to the Kamakura period and is recognized as one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns. Seto was an early pioneer in glazing techniques and rose to fame with its ceramic Maneki-neko, to the point where "Seto-mono" (things from Seto) became a general term for ceramics. It was designated as a Japanese Traditional Craft in 1977 and became part of the Japan Heritage in 2017. Its style is approachable and rustic, with diverse designs and forms, representing a charming presence in everyday life. 🐎 A Galloping Force, Unstoppable!
