In the beginning of the Showa period (circa. 1926), our founding grandfather Santaro began creating porcelain under the title “Goungama'' in Kyoto’s Sennyuji temple. Our second generation ceramist, Masanori studied under the 6th generation Rokubey and exhibited his works at the Japanese Nitten and the Japanese New Crafts exhibitions. Our current third generation cermist, Kiyonori Maeda, inherits the aspirations of his grandfather and father and works hard as a ceramist in the traditional Kyoyaki and Kiyomizuyaki areas.
