Most karamono tea bowls used in Japanese Sado from the 16th century, such as tenmoku tea bowls, Juko celadon, Karamono chaire (Chinese-style tea canisters) and Luzon chatsubo (tea urn) were minor wares that were mainly fired in minyo (private kilns for producing plate ware for daily use) in southern China.
16世紀以来日本茶道で用いられた唐物茶器の多くは、天目茶碗、珠光青磁、唐物茶入、呂宋茶壺（るそんちゃつぼ）など、主に中国南部の民窯で焼かれた非主流的なものであった。
