Kokuzou Kiln

"Pottery is part of our life."

Kokuzou Kiln has the unique texture and warmth of pottery, the charms of hand-painting, and the comfortable shape to use. It is one of the few kilns in the Kutani ware industry to have an integrated production system, where everything, from forming the base material to painting and firing, is done in-house.

Kokuzou Kiln is located at the foot of the Mt. Kokuzou in Ishikawa prefecture. The kiln's name is also derived from the name of a bodhisattva who possesses vast and boundless wisdom and virtue. Kokuzou Kiln aims to create gracious and beautiful pottery.

Kutani ware is a pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture and it has a history of over 350 years. It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of green, yellow, red, purple, and navy blue that are applied to the bold and daring lines. Its long history has evolved through the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of people who have sought innovation while maintaining tradition.

The beauty of the various styles and methods of painting is known as "Japan Kutani" and is highly regarded around the world.
