This type of earthenware is from the Ise Province (Mie Prefecture) and lasted for 3 generations from the late-Edo period (Koka era from 1848 – 1848).
At first, the name of Kozan ware was bestowed on the work produced by the village potter Doi Ichizo (Bokubokusai) by the feudal lord Hijikata Yamashiro no Kami. He mainly fired elegant tea sets and tea bowls.
The kiln was abolished temporarily, but the 1st generation Miyata Rakuoku regretted this and opened a kiln in 1926 to restore Kozan ware. It has been passed down to the current 4th generation owner Miyata Hozan.
