It is said that the founders were Shozaemon and Sukezaemon, the sons of Sanmojiyakuemon, the founder of Awata-yaki. It continued until around the Meiwa era (1764-1772), and it is said that works with the "Ninsei seal" were produced. Odo-yaki is a pottery from Tosa Province (present-day Kochi Prefecture), which began in Ozu Odo (Ozu-cho, Kochi City), north of Kochi Castle, as the kiln of the Kochi domain. Representative examples are those with a neat, thin construction, and painted with indigo pigments on a pale-colored ground. Originally, tea utensils and gifts favored by the feudal lords were made, but later, everyday utensils became the mainstream. "Ancient Famous Fabric Yuka-gawa Kinran" is a type of famous fabric (meibutsu-gire) that was brought to Japan from China and other countries from the Kamakura period to the Edo period, and was especially prized in the world of tea ceremony. "Meibutsu-gire" is a general term for the highest-grade textiles used for the shifuku (protective cloth) of tea utensils and the mounting of hanging scrolls. Tea masters cherished those fabrics and treasured them, giving them names based on their origins. Kinran is a gorgeous and beautiful textile among the famous fabrics, with gold threads woven to express patterns. Yuka-gawa Kinran, as one of the many kinran, was named according to its patterns and history. It is a very valuable fabric, so much so that even a small fragment is traded at a high price.
