Isshochi pottery 一勝地焼 – Dictionary of Japanese Potters

Isshochi ware is pottery that was made in Isshochi, Kuma Village, Kuma District, Kumamoto Prefecture. In 1776, Migita Denpachi, a feudal retainer of the Sagara Domain (currently Hitoyoshi, Kumamoto Prefecture), went to learn pottery techniques in Edo and came back. He then established a kiln in Shiromoto, Hitoyoshi. He invited Kawahara Hoko, a craftsman who made Satsuma ware in the Ryumonji kilns, and sought his guidance. After that, Denpachi immigrated to Isshochi and established a kiln. This is said to be the start of Isshochi ware. 日本遺産人吉球磨58.人吉球磨のやきもの（上村焼、一勝地焼） – 日本遺産人吉球磨■View Ceramic Works■ Tags: isshouchi pottery
