The style is characterized by the production of everyday utensils and tea ceremony ware. Early wares are characterized by thick-walled everyday ware with sea slug glazes or opaque white-straw or wood-ash glazes. During the Enshu period (1630-1665), productions focused on elegant, thin-walled tea ceremony ware with a characteristic toffee-brown glaze. ]]></note></mads>
