Our kiln moved from Gojozaka to Sumiyama in 1971, where we used the remaining ceramic glaze left behind by our father, Hachiro, to research the development of varying colour glazes using new techniques. The current generation inherited the kiln in 2003, where we seek to create ceramics which give a sense of warmth, are visually pleasing and pleasing to the touch, all created using ceramic glazes, paintings, and scratched finishings.
