Although Iga-yaki (Iga ware) was produced in the Nara period (715-806), it was not popular until Chanoyu (tea ceremony) gained acceptance during the Muromachi period (1338-1573).
As demand for tea bowls and accessories grew, Iga area potters responded with wares imbuing a philosophy of understated, rustic elegance. Irregular surfaces and natural colors mixed with classic earthenware textures embody the spirit of Iga-yaki.
