shibukusa pottery
In 1841, Toyoda Fujinosuke of Takayama Gundai in Hida, Takayama (Gifu Prefecture) invited potters from neighborhoods such as Seto to vitalize Shibukusa ware. Toda Ryuzo, one of the potters invited at the time, produced the tea sets, tableware, sake sets, etc. that he inherited through his family lineage. His style is to craft using both a spinning wheel and the stamping method, applying both red and iron images.
Currently, Ryuzo VII remains active.
