The plate set is made in Ureshino city (Saga prefecture), in the Hizen
region, an area
that straddles Saga and Nagasaki. The clear whiteness of Time & Style’s Hizen
Yoshida ware is a result of utilizing Amakusa pottery stone, a porcelain ingredient
produced in Amakusa (Kumamoto Prefecture). Great care is paid to the shaping
and firing of the porcelain to produce thin, sharp lines and the moulds are made to
accommodate the distortion and contraction of clay during the firing process.
