Ikkanjin (一閑人) - a small lucky dwarf
"Ikkanjin" refers to a design in which a small China-style doll is attached to the edge or lid of the tableware, and it was introduced from China and mainly used for a tea utensils in Japan.
The word means "leisured person" or "free-spirited person", someone who has a lot of free time, and it is said that this is him looking into the well. (But our Ikkanjin hasn't reached the top to look down yet, he's on the way! ^ ^)
It is a happy person who can roam freely as he likes, without being tied to the world... Nowadays, there are not only "human" style, but also owls, rabbits or other animals.

Hasami-yaki porcelain, which is characterized by the beauty of white porcelain and the delicate painting in indigo, is a pottery made at Hasami Town in the northern part of Nagasaki Prefecture. The town is surrounded by mountains, and produce abundant good material.
The name "Hasami-yaki" may be unfamiliar to people overseas, but Hasami is a neighboring town of Arita, which is famous worldwide for Arita-yaki, and in fact, has the same roots. This region, including Hasami, which has a history of more than 400 years and still holds a large share of daily tableware, was registered as a Japanese cultural heritage in 2016.
In former days, all the pottery from this region of Kyushu was shipped overseas from Imari Port, so it was called "IMARI-yaki ware".
In the Meiji era (1868-1912), with the development of railroad transportation, pottery from this area was distributed nationwide from Arita Town, where the shipping station was located, thus Hasami-yaki and Arita-yaki were all called "Arita-yaki" together.
Therefore, much of what was sold as Arita-yaki at that time actually contained Hasami-yaki ware.
However, due to the revision of the law in the 2000s, the stricter notation of production area was enforced. From this point on, Hasami-yaki ware and Arita-yaki ware will be clearly separated from each other, and will be restarted from scratch as "Hasami ware".
