Born as a vessel for the common people in Hasami Town, Higashi-sonogi District, Nagasaki Prefecture, Hasami ware strongly reflects the personality of the potter. The elegance of openwork and knitting is unique to Hasami ware, and over the course of its long history, it has cultivated a wonderful traditional beauty.

Creator: Mr. Kiyoto Tatei
He creates simple yet beautiful works such as Kneading (a technique of kneading clay of different colors from clay from clay and shaping it to create patterns) and Kneading Inlay (a technique of embedding different colors in a line-carved part to create a pattern), which deeply and delicately and powerfully imaged the joy of nature.
