mikawachi porcelain
Fifth generation of the Kasho kiln (historically under the Nagasaki Sasebo domain kiln) making Hirado Mikawa-ware. Hirado-ware has been described by the British Museum as “the most brilliant style of ceramics in the world.” It features white porcelain made from pottery clay, dyed with Kuresu patterns. Kuchiishi worked to further develop the tableware for cooking developed by the 4th generation head of the kiln, focusing on techniques such as blue-white dyeing and earthenware production.
