Crafts
Hizen Yoshida ware originates from the historic Hizen region, now known as Saga and Nagasaki Prefectures. Its history began in Ureshino City, Saga Prefecture, where Japan's first porcelain stone was discovered in Yoshida Village in 1577—a pivotal milestone in Japanese ceramic history.
Flourishing during the Edo period (1603–1868 CE), it developed alongside Arita ware but evolved its own identity.
Today, around ten kilns continue this tradition, creating versatile ceramics that merge historical depth with modern functionality. Whether for everyday use or special occasions, Hizen Yoshida ware brings enduring elegance and warmth to contemporary life.
