It is known for its simple and naturalistic style, utilising local clay and displaying earthy, subdued colours. The iron-glazed rim design, known as "Kawakujira" (whale skin), is named for its resemblance to a whale's outer and under skin layers. Initially meant to strengthen the rim, tea masters linked it to Karatsu port's whaling culture. less
