Ushinoto Kiln
The Ushinoto Kiln has been continuously producing everyday utensils such as tokkuri (Japanese sake cups) with plum designs since the end of the Edo Period. The pottery, down to its climbing kiln and workshop passed down from generation to generation, evokes a sense of history. In 1931 under the guidance of folk art activist Shoya Yoshida, Hideharu Kobayashi (4th generation) produced the first green and black dyed dishes that came to represent Tottori’s new folk art and remain a bestseller even today. While protecting the tradition of Ushinoto-yaki, both Takao (6th generation) and Ryoji (7th generation) are working on creating tableware, watches and other interior pieces that match a modern lifestyle.
