banko pottery
Kaga Zuizan III was born into the Kaga Zuizan family of Banko ware potters. He started making ceramics when he began learning from his grandfather (Kaga Zuizan I) after graduating high school.
He mainly presents new works at solo exhibitions held at stores and galleries, and has been certified both as a prefecturally-designated important intangible cultural property of Mie and an important intangible cultural property of Kuwano city.
In additional to being known for his traditional techniques, he also acts as the main figurehead of modern Banko ware, primarily producing tea bowls, and his works have gained notes of authentication from the Senke school of tea ceremony.
