The book Igezara by Alistair Seaton is the main reference book on this ware. Fine porcelain such as the colorful Imari and Kutani were hand painted whereas "igezara" items were produced by a technique that transferred a design after which the plate was glazed. The name "igezara" comes from two Japanese words. - "Ige" means "notch or thorn" and the term refers to the pie-like indentations around the rim of many of the plates. "Zara" or "sara" means "plate" in Japanese. "Igezara" were thus mass produced for everyday use though only limited numbers have survived today. Whereas many items of Imari and Kutani were produced for the export market, "igezara" were made primarily for the Japanese market.
