[Koishiwara Ware's Plate Has Been Added]

The history of Koishiwara ware began in 1682 when Kuroda Mitsuyuki, the third lord of the Fukuoka Domain, invited potters from Imari to open a kiln. Techniques such as “tobikanna” (chattering) and “hakeme” (brush marks) were later passed on to Onta ware in Hita City, Oita Prefecture, establishing a sister relationship between the two.

The "tobikanna" technique, a signature of Koishiwara ware, involves applying a white slip to semi-dry red clay and creating geometric patterns with a blade while the piece is rotated on a potter's wheel. These unique geometric designs enhance any dish, whether Japanese or Western.
