While mechanization has spread to other production centers as time has progressed, Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware is that they are still made by hand. One of the characteristics of Kyoy-ware and Kiyomizu-ware is that many avant-garde artists have emerged, creating a variety of works that cannot be lumped together.

Heat, quick temperature and humidity changes are a significant threat that might cause cracks to appear. Therefore do not subject it to heat or direct sunlight.

It's recommended to give the flute a very light coating of walnut or camellia oil on the surface several times a week to prevent drying.\u003cbr\u003eWhen stored in a sealed environment, the Shakuhachi will experience virtually no fluctuations in relative humidity that can damage the instrument. A relative humidity level of 50 % is recommended.\u003cbr\u003eAfter playing your Shakuhachi it is a customary to run a Tsuyutoshi cleaning cloth through the bore. Drop the weighted end carefully into the mouthpiece, protect the sharp Utaguchi edge gently with your thumb pad, and pull through from the bottom.

In Japan, they began to be used during the mid-Heian period, around the 10th century, where they were referred to as han (seal) or kakihan (written seal).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eBy the 11th century, styles had evolved to include designs called nigōtai (two-character combinations), which were decorative forms created by merging the two kanji of a person’s real name. Another variation known as ichijitai (single-character style) also emerged, which used only one character from the name. A shared feature among these styles was that the Kaoh was always based on the user’s name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eDuring the Kamakura period, as samurai began to write more documents, the use of Kaoh increased. The Kaoh used by the warrior class were called bukeyō, in contrast to those used by the aristocracy, known as kugyōyō.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eIn the Sengoku period, Kaoh were not necessarily based on the actual names of individuals. Some people began to inherit the Kaoh of their fathers, while in other cases, a Kaoh came to symbolize a specific rank or status. Even today, the Prime Minister of Japan uses a Kaoh as a mark of official authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eBy the Edo period, the use of Kaoh began to decline, especially among commoners such as farmers. In their place, personal seals (hanko) became more widespread. With the Meiji government’s proclamation that documents without official seals would not be recognized in court, the use of Kaoh was significantly reduced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eSuiun Arikawa\u003cbr\u003eOver the past 32 years, I have devoted myself to extensive training and experiences in the art of calligraphy.\u003cbr\u003eWhile managing a calligraphy school, I now apply the knowledge and techniques I have cultivated—along with my deep understanding of Chinese characters—to the authentic design of Kaoh, a tradition with over a thousand years of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Passion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eJoy of Writing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eThrough “Joy of Writing”, my mission is to bring a richer life, greater self-confidence, and love to the world.\u003cbr\u003eAs a concrete activity, I am dedicated to sharing \"Kaoh\", a treasured Japanese cultural tradition with a history spanning over a thousand years, with the world and passing it on to the next generation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/6621\/9493\/files\/DSC04499.jpg?v=1753934231\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYour Contribution to Craftsman\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomer Voice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eDue to the market structure (link for full articles are attached bottom), craftsman have not known who the customer is and how customer reacts to their work.

In Japan, they began to be used during the mid-Heian period, around the 10th century, where they were referred to as han (seal) or kakihan (written seal).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eBy the 11th century, styles had evolved to include designs called nigōtai (two-character combinations), which were decorative forms created by merging the two kanji of a person’s real name. Another variation known as ichijitai (single-character style) also emerged, which used only one character from the name. A shared feature among these styles was that the Kaoh was always based on the user’s name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eDuring the Kamakura period, as samurai began to write more documents, the use of Kaoh increased. The Kaoh used by the warrior class were called bukeyō, in contrast to those used by the aristocracy, known as kugyōyō.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eIn the Sengoku period, Kaoh were not necessarily based on the actual names of individuals. Some people began to inherit the Kaoh of their fathers, while in other cases, a Kaoh came to symbolize a specific rank or status. Even today, the Prime Minister of Japan uses a Kaoh as a mark of official authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eBy the Edo period, the use of Kaoh began to decline, especially among commoners such as farmers. In their place, personal seals (hanko) became more widespread. With the Meiji government’s proclamation that documents without official seals would not be recognized in court, the use of Kaoh was significantly reduced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eSuiun Arikawa\u003cbr\u003eOver the past 32 years, I have devoted myself to extensive training and experiences in the art of calligraphy.\u003cbr\u003eWhile managing a calligraphy school, I now apply the knowledge and techniques I have cultivated—along with my deep understanding of Chinese characters—to the authentic design of Kaoh, a tradition with over a thousand years of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Passion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eJoy of Writing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eThrough “Joy of Writing”, my mission is to bring a richer life, greater self-confidence, and love to the world.\u003cbr\u003eAs a concrete activity, I am dedicated to sharing \"Kaoh\", a treasured Japanese cultural tradition with a history spanning over a thousand years, with the world and passing it on to the next generation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/6621\/9493\/files\/DSC04499.jpg?v=1753934231\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYour Contribution to Craftsman\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomer Voice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eDue to the market structure (link for full articles are attached bottom), craftsman have not known who the customer is and how customer reacts to their work.
