Kakutei, the owner of an aburi-mochi shop in Monzen, Daitokuji, Murasakino, Kyoto, fired Raku ware tea bowls with the marks of “Murasaki” and “Murasakino” written by the Buddhist priest Chuho from Shogetsuan in Daitokuji around the Bunka era (1804 – 1818) in the late-Edo period to start this style of earthenware.
It has also been restored by Fujii Kaido, the Buddhist priest from Daitokuji, in the Showa era, resulting in Murasakino ware from the Edo period and modern Murasakino ware.
