Inside Kouhou Kiln

We are excited to be adding many new gorgeous works from Kouhou Kiln to our online pottery shop in the coming month. Kouhou Kiln specializes in iro-Nabeshima porcelain. The items are so near perfect, it's hard to believe they are hand-painted. It is this quality that makes Kouhou's work worthy of inclusion in the Tokyo Toguri Museum Porcelain Collection. Check out these two recently added tea and sake cups (top of page) to get a taste of things to come.

The Kouhou Kiln shop is one of my favorite places in Imari. Here are a few pictures from the interior of this beautiful thatch-roof building.
