Rozen stamped his works with the mark "Banko" or "Banko Fueki" so that they would last forever. That is said to be the origin of the name Banko-yaki. Banko-yaki includes a wide variety of ceramics, from tableware and flower vases that color life to industrial product molds. The variety is so rich that it is said that "the characteristic of Banko-yaki is that it has the mark 'Banko'." In a land with scarce resources such as clay, the ancestors honed their skills, conducted research, and created various products by sensitively grasping the needs of each era. Through effort and ingenuity, they have connected the tradition of Banko-yaki for 300 years and developed as one of Japan's leading pottery production areas. From the Taisho to the early Showa periods, unlike the master potters of the Meiji era, individual artists began to emerge. Mizutani Torajiro (Hekizan) of Taisho-yaki, Otsuka Saika (Kouetsu) of Akae, Hitomi Doei, Tanaka Tokumatsu (Tokindo), Kishi Enzan, and Sasaoka Shunzan were active. #BankoYaki #BankoYaki #BankoYakiAkae #HitomiDoei #TeaCeremonyUtensils #TeaCeremonyUtensilSet #SenchaUtensils #SenchaSet #TeaSet #Kyusu #Yunomi #Doei #Vintage #Antique #Antique #Crafts #TraditionalCrafts #FineArtsAndCrafts #Japan #Pottery
