About Bankoyaki:
Banko-yaki (Banko ware) has a history of about 300 years. It began during the Genbun era (1736–1740) in the Edo period, when a merchant named Nunami Rozan became interested in the Way of Tea. He built a kiln in the town of Asahi in Mie Prefecture and started making his own pottery. What began as his hobby grew into a world-famous type of earthenware, now recognized as a Traditional Craft by Japan’s Ministry of Economy. Today, there are over 100 Banko-yaki kilns, mainly around the cities of Yokkaichi and Komono in Mie Prefecture.
