Although the town is famous for its porcelain, pottery was first fired in Hasami Town around 1580. The main raw material for pottery is clay, and the main raw material for porcelain is stone, and it is difficult to use raw materials exclusively from each region today, so clay and stone from Amakusa City in Kumamoto Prefecture are used. The same raw materials are used for modern Arita ware, and although they are both produced in Kyushu and are often compared, the main difference between Arita ware and Hasami ware is whether they use clay or stone that are ranked according to the ease with which the overglaze colors come out vividly. It is not a matter of good or bad quality as pottery, but rather a difference in the purpose and expression for which they are used. Hasami ware is also produced in medium quantities, with each craftsman dividing up the work and placing importance on manual labor, and is produced and manufactured throughout the region.
