Inbande porcelain series with "Komon" pattern, which originally came from kimonos pattern.
Inbande is the Japanese term for painted by printing, like stencil printing and copper plate transfer.
It is a technique that has developed rapidly since the Meiji period, making it possible to produce handicrafts without the need for specialized painting craftsmen. Inban tableware were distributed all over Japan, and it reformed the eating habits of the common people.
Even though it is called printing, this method at the time was prone to many defects such as blurring, bleeding, missing colors, and uneven colors. Therefore, in recent years it has become a technique that is rarely used.
However, pottery lovers believe that its flaws are its charm, in the sense of Japanese wabi-sabi, an aesthetic sense of accepting imperfection.
