Ando Hidetaro (1876-1937) founded the Hoshoji-yaki-Hanaya-kiln, which was succeeded by Ando Yoshiaki (1913-1953), the second generation of the family, who built the Matsuba-kiln, and later built the Kaio-kiln. After handing over the Matsuhana and Kaioh kilns to him, he built a Hinoyama-Yobuko-kiln, which means there are three kilns in total, but no one took over the Yobuko kiln, so there are now only two, the Matsuhana and Kaioh kilns.
