inuyama pottery
From the mid to late Edo era, the Inuyama ware flourished, but lost the patronage of the feudal lords during the Tokugawa shogunate–Meiji era, forcing their business to decline rapidly. However, after entering the Meiji era, the original Ozeki Sakujiro established the Inuyama Ceramics Company to revive the art.
After that, the traditional pottery techniques were kept alive from the 2nd through to the 5th generation.
