Around 1804 in Nagasaki Kameyama, a kiln was opened under the orders of Nagasaki magistrate Hida Bungonokami Yoritsune, and production was mainly done by a potter called Ogami Jingobei. Also, in 1854, when Kyoto’s Miura Kenya visited Nagasaki to study shipbuilding techniques he helped with producing ceramics and such, but it gradually fell more and more into decline and kilns were abandoned. In 1859, he aimed to revive the industry around the time Okabe Suruganokami Nagatsune was magistrate, but there were financial difficulties which immediately led to the complete abandoning of kilns. Many of the products are Imari-style blue and white dyed porcelain, and use local artist Tsuda Nanchiku as the painter who does things such as dragon crests, portraits, and landscape drawings. The main purpose was to present them as gifts to the Shogunate, sell them to each domain in the country and export them to China etc.
