Old Karatsu ware originated in 1596, the first year of the Keicho era, when feudal lords returning from the invasion of Korea brought back many Korean potters. Subsequently, kilns were opened in various parts of Kyushu under the patronage of these lords. The Yuno kiln was opened within the Nabeshima domain of Takeo, Hizen. This is a truly beautiful piece, with a size and form that can be considered a model for a standing sake cup.
