Its production began in the mid-Edo period, giving it a history of approximately 240 years. In 1976, four types—white porcelain, sometsuke (underglaze blue) works, celadon, and tenmoku (iron glaze)—were designated as national traditional crafts. In 2005, it was designated as an intangible cultural asset of Ehime Prefecture. Tobe-cho and its surrounding areas have nearly 100 kilns. The characteristics of Tobe ware are its white porcelain with indigo patterns, its thick and unadorned forms, and the hardness of its material. The arabesque pattern is a representative design, along with nazuna (shepherd's purse), tokusa (horsetail), and taiyo (sun) patterns, which are also considered traditional designs. Today, Tobe ware continues to inherit traditional techniques and patterns while also creating new designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsage Precautions from Tosaigama Nagato Pottery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 27px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 27px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e〇 Because original clay and glaze are used, crackle patterns that resemble designs appear.
