Retro Naeshirakawa-yaki (Satsuma ware) Teapot Retail price: 5,800 yen Size: Height: Approximately 15cm including the lid Width: Approximately 18cm including the spout Satsuma ware is broadly divided into three schools: Naeshirakawa-yaki, Ryumonji-yaki, and Tateno-yaki (Iso Oniwaki), and each of these place names has been used as the name of the production area. The potters who are said to be the founders of Satsuma ware landed in Kushikino (Shimadaira), Ichiki (Kaminokawa), and Kagoshima City (Maenohama) in 1598. Those who landed in Kushikino (Shimadaira) first built a kiln in Kushikino. In 1603, they moved to Naeshirakawa and began pottery. After that, the pottery fired in Naeshirakawa was known as Naeshirakawa-yaki, taking the name of the place. On September 30, 1956, the place name was changed from Naeshirakawa to Miyama. The descendants of the immigrant potters, in order not to forget the ancestors who began pottery in the land of Naeshirakawa, left the name on the pottery, as the appearance of their hometown changed day by day. The Naeshirakawa-yaki came from an old family and had been kept in storage. It is small, has a very good texture, and has a beautiful and lovely form. The ancestors of Satsuma ware. Simple yet gorgeous, with fine details and a very beautiful texture. You can enjoy it with lukewarm sake, hot sake, or cold sake. Why not have it in your hands?
