With more than 1,300 years of history, it is Japan's largest ceramics-producing area and is known for practical, well-made tableware in a wide variety of styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does \"shinogi\" mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShinogi (鎬) describes fine raised ridges on a ceramic surface. The name comes from the ridge line on a Japanese sword blade.
