kofu pottery
Born in Fushiki, Toyama Prefecture. Inherited Kofu-ware from a kiln established at the end of the Meiji era. Studied under Naito Shingetsu I and Kawamura Shinsei II. In 1966, he succeeded to the third generation and built a new kiln in Takaoka City in 1970, focusing on high-fired unglazed ceramics.
Kofu ware is made by a firing method that does not use glaze, which is mainly made of glass.
