Kyoto Japan IGNIS CO., LTD.
Kyo-yaki porcelain, or porcelain formed and fired in Kyoto, is thought
to trace its origins back to the late 1590s in Keicho-Era Japan. The proliferation
of the Japanese tea ceremony custom in the 17th century brought with it
a massive rise in the production of teacups, tea containers, tea bowls
and other earthenware.
Modern Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki porcelain typify Japan, and many different
techniques are used to produce a variety of earthenware. Among the types
of Kyo-yaki well known throughout the world are Antoku, Ichiraku, Kashun,
Kaho, Ganka, Kyosen, Kozo, Goun, Keiho, Shunzan, Shoami, Shoho, Zuiko,
Zuisho, Seisen, Dainichi, Toan, Toraku, Bahan, Hozan and Hokusai Pottery,
to name several.
Kyoto’s history and cultural atmosphere show in the
