In the past, when people embarked on a journey, they would take sand from beneath the main hall of Itsukushima Shrine as a charm to pray for a safe journey, and upon their safe return home, they would bring back sand from their travel destination and return double the amount as a religious custom referred to as the \"Sand Return Ceremony.\"The item is said that the origin of Miyajima ware dates back to the Tenmei and Kansei eras, when this \"sacred sand\" was used to make ceremonial vessels for major festivals. Later, during the Bunsei era, Lord Asano Narikata had tea ceremony utensils fired using this \"sacred sand,\" which marked the beginning of Miyajima ware.When Miyajima ware was revived during the Meiji and Taisho periods, techniques from Kyoto ware and Hagi ware were incorporated in addition to the long-established techniques.\"
