Iwakura pottery 岩倉焼

There is a prevailing theory that when Ninsei’s students became independent, they built a kiln in Iwakura, Rakuhoku in Kyoto, but there are many unclear points about details beyond that.

Works other than Ninsei’s colored art that remain, include things like blue and white dyeing and Sabi-e (rust painting).

Also, it is believed that Iwakurayama Kichibe who made pottery in Awataguchi in later years, may be a descendant of Iwakura-ware potters.
