In the early Taisho period, the beginning of the Kenzan kiln was that a kiln was built in Hojo, Tokoname City by Katsutaro (the first) to bake a large pot.
Kenichi (the second generation) introduced a shuttle kiln and earth pipe machine. It enabled mass production and supported the development of the high-growth period.
Kengo (the third generation) produced bonsai bowls, umbrella stands, gardening bowls, etc., and also made use of the traditional “Yoriko-zukuri” method to create new products such as water bowls, water lily bowls, pots for suikinkutsu, and large ceramic bathtubs. Recently, pots for slowly cooking baked sweet potatoes have attracted attention and are widely used in Japan.
Junzo (four generations) not only makes big players who have been the main force for generations, but also makes pottery every day, focusing on tableware such as tableware and teapots, and is active in tea cultural areas such as Taiwan and China. Kenzan Kiln continues to make things according to the times while protecting the techniques inherited from ancient times.

This is also Turner’s work at the National Gallery in London (free admission, also for foreigners), and you can see it if you see even one.
MWL deals with things, things, and people that have a presence that they claim as art even in their lives.
