Shimamono
''Shimamono'' (島物 "island objects") is a generic term for Japanese tea utensils produced outside Japan, Korea and China, mainly from Southeast Asia. History Items from Korea are referred to as ''kōraimono'' (高麗物) and from China called ''karamono'' (唐物) are not considered ''shimamono''. They were imported with ships on trade routes and started becoming popular in the 15th and 16th centuries. The term therefore can be taken literally to mean "island objects". By the time of the rule of the ''Shōgun'' Tokugawa Yoshimune, imitation ''shimamono'' were also produced in Japan. However, at this point they were called "striped objects", but the pronunciation remained the same. As such they can be counted as part of Japanese pottery and porcelain. The treatise ''Tōkikō'' describes the Japanese pottery trade with Asia and gives detailed descriptions.
