This type of earthenware was started during the Bunsei era (1818 – 1830) in Koshinohara Village in Omi Province (present-day Koshinohara, Yasu, Shiga) and was named after Mount Mikami, which is also known as Omi Fuji.
It has been said that the owner of the kiln was very fond of the arts and founded the kiln to create tea sets for tea ceremonies with cultured individuals, but the potter is unknown. Since there are also the Kofuji ware from Omi and the Fujimi ware from Seto, close attention must be paid.
