Tsuji Hitachi Kiln

Purveyor to the Imperial Household Agency
Founded in the early Edo period, this was the first kiln in Japan to supply blue-and-white porcelain to the Imperial Court. While we no longer hold an exclusive contract, we continue to receive various commissions from the Imperial Household Agency while also creating fine art and crafts. We pursue the elegant beauty of blue-and-white porcelain through supreme skill and quality.

Without resorting to gimmicks, these high-quality plates, which carefully uphold traditional painting techniques and styles and remain untainted by passing trends, offer a sense of comfort and stability that you feel the moment you hold them. Just like with paintings, the brushwork on pottery varies from one kiln to another. In particular, when you trace the lines of a piece from a kiln that specializes in delicate artistry, you can clearly see the meticulous care with which they are drawn.
