Hasami-yaki is a style of pottery from the eponymous town of Hasami in Nagasaki prefecture, best known for durable, everyday porcelain tea- and tableware. The history of Hasami wares date back to the turn of the 17th century when skilled Korean potters were captured and brought over following the Japanese invasions of Korea at the end of the 16th century. Using their porcelain making know-how, the Korean potters soon identified kaolin clay near Arita, close to Hasami, from where the production of domestic Japanese porcelain began.

Kumidashi 汲み出し
The Kumidashi is a short, light, handle-free teacup traditionally used to serve Sencha during Senchadō: the Japanese leaf tea ceremony (as opposed to Sadō for matcha powdered green tea). Kumidashi with mouths that spread outwards are particularly suitable for high-grade teas as the shape helps to amplify the aroma. Often sold in sets of five, Kumidashi are the choice of teacup when entertaining guests.
