🌸 Uchida Plate Yamayaki

In the Meiji period, Mr. Naohiko Kiyama, who started the mining business on the advice of Yukichi Fukuzawa, laid the foundation, and in 1970, Mr. Katsuhiko Kiyama, the third generation, discovered the remains of a kiln from the Edo period and opened a kiln. Subsequent excavations revealed the history of porcelain firing for about 100 years from around 1650.

Inheriting such history, "Uchida Plate Yamayaki" has been revived in modern times. Even now, when Kentaro Kiyama, the fourth generation, inherited the pottery, the potter himself mins Amakusa Porcelain stone and Shiki clay, and carefully produces vessels one by one from the ingredients grown in the land of Amakusa. Works with traditional techniques and modern sensibilities are lined up.

In this "Spring Kiln Tour", there will be Gastronomical delicacies that make you feel the season, such as vessels with a three-dimensional "Itchin" pattern and cute May picture plates for Children's Day.

Please take this opportunity to pleaseenjoy the world of vessels where the history and climate of Amakusa are alive.
