Mori pottery 母里焼

This is a type of Izumo ware. Matsudaira Naooki, the feudal lord of the Mori Domain, a subsidiary domain of the Izumo Matsue Domain, invited Ishihara Zenemon and opened this kiln. It was later moved to Tenma in Higashi-Mori Haradai but was abolished soon after. Ueda Musashi inherited this kiln in 1847 and operated it under the name of Kamitenma ware. However, the kiln was moved to Toyooka in 1850, and the works were called Toyooka ware. Then, after the abolition of the feudal domains and establishment of prefectures, Inagaki Mohei returned to the original land and opened a kiln
