Meiji period-
kotoura pottery
Wada Kujuro opened a kiln in Taisha Village in Nishinomiya in Meiji 34 (1901).
His second son Masae moved the kiln to Higashi Sakuragi Town in Amagasaki City and founded this style as the 1st generation Tozan.
It originally fired Raku ware, but began to fire various other types of pottery later.
The 3rd generation Tozan was born in Taisho 9 (1920), and the 4th generation Tozan was born in Showa 22 (1947).
The 4th generation is the grandson of the 1st generation.
