Mihama ware in pottery made in Konogi, Mihama Town, Minamimuro District, Mie Prefecture. In 1959, Kisei Ceramics founded the Mihama kiln. It was part of the development plan for south Nanki, in Mie prefecture, after discovering that the Mihama area was abundant in underground deposits of good quality pottery feldspar. It was used to maintain a continuous operation of porcelain production from scratch with modern equipment for the first time. Later on, in 1982, Mihama ware was sold to Mihama Kiln, Inc. and still exists until now.
