About
Shozan Kiln
The
main style of Sho-zan Kiln features the renowned blue-on-white
gsometsuke.h Sometsuke is a hand-printing technique using gGosuh
underglaze that turns cobalt-blue when glazed. It takes years
of experience and skills to master Sometsuke, because the minute
details of human expression or nature needs to be depicted using
just one color. The beauty of Sometsuke is that every piece
is hand-printed and has a one-of-a-kind uniqueness.
The
Sho-zan Kiln is now run by Tsutomu Nakazato, the 16th generation.
He is constantly searching for new styles of Sometsuke to be
incorporated into the tradition of 400 years. His delicate yet
lively prints have gained much popularity in Japan in the recent
years.
