Shida ware consists of blue and white ceramics fired in Shida, Shiota, Hizen. The kiln is said to have originated during the Manji era (1652 – 1661), but its precise origins and originator are unknown.
In addition, it mass-produced large platters to complement the cuisine at basket shops and teahouses from the late-Edo period and later.
This kiln produced many masterpieces with delicate designs of wizards, flowers, tigers, and dragons but only produced regular plates from the Meiji era and later.
In addition, it is said that there was no particular distinction with the nearby Imari ware at the time.
