Hibi Match - Seto Incense Tray
Japanese porcelain tray for Hibi match burning pad.
This is the third product in the SOW project, a collaboration between Hibi and aspiring makers from around Japan, aimed at updating traditions together. Seto ware, with a history spanning over 1,000 years, is one of Japan's six oldest kilns, alongside Tokoname, Shigaraki, Tanba, Echizen, and Bizen. Seto was the first pottery center in Japan to use glaze, and the term "setomono" originates from Seto ware, which has been a driving force in pottery making throughout its long history. Seto ware is distinguished by its beautiful white base, reminiscent of Chinese celadon and white porcelain. At Shunkyo Toki, where Seto ware is produced, everything from molding to painting and the main firing is done in-house.
