Opened in April 2015.
Our plaster-walled studio & gallery is surrounded by greenery.
Works inspired by nature, like the colors of the sky and the Earth, and of the four seasons in Japan, are lined up at the gallery.
From 1647 to 1871, my ancestors had been engaged in porcelain firing from generation to generation under Arita Sarayama Magistrate’s Office of Nabeshima (Saga) domain.
Today, inheriting their passion, we are committed to producing products that fascinate people with focus on shape and glaze, and pursuing our own unique style.
