Oribe wareA type of pottery that originated in the area around Toki City in Gifu Prefecture around 1605 (the 10th year of the Keicho era in the Momoyama period) and was mainly produced in the Mino region. It was founded under the guidance of Furuta Oribe (1543-1615), a daimyo tea master and student of Sen no Rikyu (the historical figure with the most profound influence on chanoyu, the Japanese “Way of Tea”), and produced many tea utensils with novel and unconventional shapes and designs that Oribe favored.Unlike other tea utensils, which tended to favor a neat and orderly shape and emphasized abstraction, many of the tea utensils produced in this style were figurative, including warped-shaped kutsukake tea bowls, checkered and geometric patterns, and, in later generations, tableware in the shape of folding fans and incense burners.This tableware dates back over 100 years to the Taisho period, and at celebratory occasions, the three plates were arranged in a pattern resembling the Tokugawa family crest.（see the first photo ）
