MUNAKATAGAMA

"It is important to draw out the potential power of the soil"

Since ancient times, the Japanese have cherished a culture of appreciating things through the five senses. We will continue to focus on pottery making to embody this spirit.

ARTISAN STORY

Toshihiro Munakata & Toshinori Munakata / Munakatagama
Aizu Hongo Pottery has been made in Fukushima Prefecture for nine generations by a father and his son. The ancestors of Munakatagama were missionaries of Munakata Taisha Shrine in Fukuoka Prefecture and established Munakata Shrine in Aizu. He began to make pottery while serving as a priest, and feeling that he had a talent for pottery, he resigned from the priesthood and began to devote himself to the pottery business. This was the beginning of the Munakatagama. The most distinctive feature of Munakatagama is its works with fuzzy colors created by using unique glazes. Both father and son have made inroads into Paris, New York, and other countries.

AIZU HONGO WARE

About 430 years ago / 1590s / Azuchi–Momoyama Period

Aizu Hongo ware began with roof tiles and utilitarian pottery produced under Gamo Ujisato in the late sixteenth century. In the seventeenth century, the Aizu domain under Hoshina Masayuki also encouraged porcelain. The district consequently developed into an unusual production center where both pottery and porcelain traditions coexist.

In Japan, Aizu Hongo is strongly associated with practical vessels—tableware, sake ware and storage jars—rather than only luxury ceramics. Today each kiln has its own clay, glazes and visual language, so the region combines the identity of a historic production center with the individuality of studio pottery.

Its most distinctive feature is precisely that dual heritage. Visitors can compare the warmth and texture of earthen pottery with the crisp whiteness of porcelain within the same village. Few ceramic regions offer such a clear, side-by-side lesson in the difference between the two materials.

Différences individuelles

Chaque pièce étant fabriquée à la main individuellement, de légères variations de couleur, de motif, de forme et de texture peuvent survenir. Ces subtiles différences sont une caractéristique naturelle des créations artisanales, rendant chaque pièce véritablement unique. Nous espérons que vous apprécierez ces variations individuelles comme faisant partie de la beauté et du caractère de l'artisanat japonais.
