Rinkuro Kiln

Rinkuro Kiln was established in 1968 in Hasami Pottery, a pottery production area with 400 years of tradition. It was created with the aim of creating unique style and high quality pottery.

They continue to produce products with their unique sensibility, such as sometsuke blue and white ceramics, the opulent old Imari style, and somenishiki, a perfect balance of sometsuke and red-patterned akae. In recent years, they have been working hard to create tableware that meets the needs of both the Japanese and Western styles, and their creative activities are in tune with the times.

Hasami ware is a traditional Japanese ceramic produced in Hasami Town, often called the "Town of Pottery," located in Nagasaki Prefecture, Kyushu. For over 400 years, it has been cherished as durable and practical tableware for everyday use.

It is known for its vibrant hand-painted designs on a pure white porcelain base—an iconic feature of Japanese porcelain. While Hasami ware continues to honor traditional patterns, artisans are constantly creating new designs that suit contemporary lifestyles, blending timeless beauty with modern functionality.
