Banko-yaki 萬古焼 represents one of Japan's most beautiful traditional ceramic techniques. The art form dates back to the 18th century, initiated by the merchant Nunami Rouzan, who famously placed a seal inscribed with the words bankofueki, meaning "eternity, constancy," on earthenware produced in the town of Yokkaichi. Renowned for its unique heat resistance and aesthetically appealing, almost primitive composition, Banko-yaki is highly valued in the world of tea.
