A tea plantation in Uji was opened in the early 13th century by Koben Myoe, a monk from Tsugao Kozanji Temple (currently Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City).
Its history has been supported by the blessed natural conditions, the passion of the tea masters, and the support of the Shogun family.
The Kanbayashi family has been in business since the late 14th century, when Yoshimitsu, the third Ashikaga shogun, opened a tea garden called Uji Shichimeien and spread the fame of Uji tea throughout the country.
Under the generous patronage of the Shogun family, he flourished as a powerful tea master. However, in the latter half of the 16th century, due to the war with Oda Nobunaga,
The Muromachi Shogunate fell. The Uji tea industry, which was deeply connected to the Shogun family, also suffered great damage. After that, the tea ceremony became popular among the people who loved tea.
The Uji tea industry entered a new era as Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who popularized it, focused his efforts on the restoration of Uji. To meet Toyotaaiko's expectations
The first generation of Shunshoken Kanbayashi, who continued his efforts, set up his residence in Nishi 1-cho, Ujibashi (currently Uji-Kamibayashi Memorial Hall). And in the Tokugawa era, the tea ceremony
As it became more and more popular, Shogun Ieyasu appointed the Kanbayashi family as Uji magistrate and tea president.
The Kanbayashi family went so far as to take full control of Uji tea.

[What are penetrations]
These are small cracks that form in the glaze due to the difference in shrinkage between the base material and the glaze when the pottery is fired and cools.
There are cracks only in the thin glass layer of the glaze. The size and length of the penetration varies depending on the shrinkage rate of the glaze and soil.
It almost always goes into pottery. note that.
・Since we mainly use pottery clay, which is originally a natural raw material,
Contains a lot of iron. Regarding ceramic products
Iron components may appear as black spots or ash glaze on the surface of the pottery.
Also, because each piece is made of pottery, the appearance (the degree of glaze) will vary from piece to piece.
note that.
