The inherited flame,
Now creating new vessels.
What is Agano ware?
Invited by Hideyoshi Toyotomi for the Bunroku-Keicho War, Sonkai was a potter of the Joseon Dynasty who was naturalized under Lord Kiyomasa Kato.
In the Tokugawa period, Kobori Enshu, a great tea master who served as a tea ceremony instructor in the Tokugawa family, selected seven kilns nationwide to make tea utensils.
Pottery introduction
The Agano ware cooperative is currently made up of nine potteries.
Each kiln has different characteristics of their works, and all of them are stunningly beautiful.
Please take a look at the commitment of the pottery.
