Description
This style of creating pattern through incising and impressing seals originated in Korea. When brought to Japan, the grid-like patterns reminded the Japanese of a famous calendar produced at a temple in Mishima. The technique and the ware subsequently came to be called Mishima in Japan. The glaze on this particular bowl resembles yellow Seto, unlike the original models produced in gray and white glazes.
