The first generation Sozan was born in present day Ishikawa prefecture in the household of a feudal retainer. After the Meiji Restoration, he studied Kutani ceramics and began his career in pottery. In 1907 he completed works on his “Sozan Celadon”, and in 1917 he became an appointed artist for the Imperial family. Sozan’s niece Torako became the 2nd generation Sozan, and his nephew Osamu became the 3rd generation. We specialise in the production of Japanese tea ceremony goods and celadon ceramics.
