[Hasamiyaki]
The birth of Hasamiyaki dates back to about 400 years ago. The feudal lord Omura Yoshiaki who participated in the Imjin War in 1598 brought back the Korean potters, the Riyukei brothers. The following year, stepped climbing kilns were built at Hatanohara, Furusaraya and Yamanita in Muraki, Hasami, and pottery making began. It is said that Hasamiyaki first began at these places. Features of Hasamiyaki are the transparent-like beauty of its white porcelain and its deeply nuanced fine zaffer decoration.
These days, in accordance with various needs, a variety of Hasamiyaki is produced, from general household tableware to traditional craft items and items in modern designs to suit the current period.

*Before use, thoroughly immerse in hot or room temperature water or boil in the water used to wash rice. This will stop the item from becoming stained easily. Also when serving, immerse item in water before use. This will prevent the oil or sauce from staining the surface.
*To keep item beautiful for a long time, washing by hand is recommended.
*When hand washing, use a synthetic kitchen detergent and soft sponge or cloth.

[Other]
*Do not use in a microwave.
*As each item is hand made one by one, the color, pattern etc., may differ slightly from the photos.
*Porcelain and ceramic are shaped items made with finely ground clay. The densely formed ware is then fired in a kiln. When flicked with the finger you will hear a metallic sound. The sound shows the density and degree of water resistance the ware has. In this sense, please kindly understand that this is similar in nature to glass.
*Should there be no stock, item manufacture will take place after order placement. Depending on the item, delivery may be delayed. Contact customer service regarding the delivery date.
