Other Tobe ware began 370 years ago when potters who came from Korea produced tableware for daily use, but the foundations of Tobe ware were established with the success of Sugino Josuke's white porcelain production, encouraged by the lord of Ozu domain during the An'ei era. The profound taste of the gosu painting blended into the pure white porcelain surface, the exquisite tone of the white base and colored glazes, and the elegant clay pieces - the slightly thick, simple shapes and the robustness of the material - are the greatest pride of Tobe ware. We would be truly happy if you would use Tobe ware, which is produced with new sensibilities while cherishing old traditions, as tableware for your daily life. (From the website)
