Mashiko Ware（Tochigi）
Artist：Masayoshi Otsuka

Originating in the late Edo period when a potter trained in Kasama established a kiln, Mashiko ware is known for its coarse, sandy clay texture and glazes in deep black and amber tones. In addition to sake vessels, it includes thick, robust items such as earthenware pots and teapots.
