Maker / Brand
Founded in 1922, Touan is one of Kyoto's distinguished kilns specializing in Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware. As one of the largest workshops in Kyoto, all stages of production are meticulously carried out by hand. Touan is dedicated to crafting exquisite, seasonally inspired designs, employing underglaze painting, where intricate colors are applied before glazing. This process ensures that each creation retains its delicate hues and is resistant to wear, embodying both beauty and durability.
Origin
Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware, collectively known as Kyo-yaki or Kiyomizu-yaki, are esteemed crafts from Kyoto. Unlike other pottery styles, they integrate various techniques from across Japan, resulting in unique, handmade pieces. Each item is crafted meticulously, from shaping on the pottery wheel to intricate painting, showcasing exceptional modeling skills and delicate designs.
With a rich history intertwined with traditional Japanese culture, Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware are celebrated for their refined artistry and elegance. Known for their vibrant and detailed paintings, they were officially recognized as a traditional craft by the Japanese government in 1977. Today, these ceramics are prized for their high artistic quality, embodying both historical craftsmanship and aesthetic sophistication.

Peony
Often seen in Japanese art and design, the grand, luxurious peony symbolizes nobility, grace, refined beauty, and more. Introduced to Japan from China during the Heian period (794 CE–1185 CE), a time celebrated for its aesthetic refinement, peonies quickly became popular in the gardens of the aristocracy and were often celebrated in poetry. Blooming in late spring, these flowers display an array of colors, from deep reds and soft purples to vibrant pinks and radiant yellows. Their lush, expressive petals bring a sense of grace and elegance to each piece in this collection, elevating the table with artful beauty.
