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. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:57:03</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31406341</termId><termName>Japanese ceramics styles</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
