Mukai Kiln is a long-established Iga ware kiln with roots dating back to the late Edo period. Today, eighth-generation potter Fukushima Kazuhiro and brother Shinya continue the tradition through both traditional and contemporary designs.

Using the region’s coarse clay, the kiln creates vessels shaped by ash and flame while preserving the natural character of the clay. Pieces born from the same firing carry subtle harmony in surface and color, bringing visual continuity to the table.
