In the afternoon, we went to Mikawachi Pottery Village on the foot of Mount Mikawachi in
Sasebo city,
Nagasaki. It is used to be the home of the Hirado clan kilns.
The
first production of ceramics is from the 1600s by Korean Potter Koseki (古巨関) who came to Japan during the Japanese Invention of Korea between 1592 and 1598.
In 1598, he was open the kiln in Nakano, Hirado by order of the 26th Hirado loud clan, Matsuura Shigenobu. This is the beginning of Mikawachi ware that is called the Nakano kiln at that time. However due to the lack of pottery stones, he and his son Imamura Sannojo (今村三之丞) came out on a journey of pottery stone explore in the Hirado territory. Finally they settled in Mikawachi and Sannojo was open the ceramics factory for the clan in Mount Mikawachi.
The Kakushogama (嘉久正窯) ceramics company. The company was established by Nakazato Shigeemon (中里茂ヱ門) who was founding father of the Hirado domain kiln from 350 years ago.
