Pottery originated by Kamiyama Unosuke in Ujiyamada of Mie Prefecture around 1905, also known as Kamiji-ware.
Kamiyama first practiced pottery with Shigaraki-ware and then Akogi-ware, and served as the manager of an Akogi-ware factory (abandoned in 1900), which had become an incorporated organization. After that, he called on potters and painters from Shigaraki and Seto etc., and originated Kamijiyama-ware. It is pottery that draws on the style of Akogi-ware, and is made mainly focusing on receptacles for daily life.
