ABOUT HANASAKA
“HANASAKA” is a brand of ceramics produced by Taniguchi Seidojo, which produces Kutani ware clay.
The brand name “HANASAKA” is derived from “Hanasaka Pottery Stone” which is the raw material for Kutani ware. Currently, there are only a few mines where Hanasaka pottery stone can be quarried, and while Kutani ware is widely known, such a situation is hardly recognized.
From the perspective of clay production, which they have been doing, their mission is to connect the kiln owners of the clay firing that underpins the painting process and the people beyond, and to create a production area where land, culture, and the future come together.
All of their works, created by people who know the clay well, have a hidden charm that can only be realized by holding them in your hands.
