3. Kasugayama kiln (1807-1820)

 

Kasugayama Kiln is based on the latest porcelain technology brought to Kaga, more than 100 years after the Kutani Old Kiln was closed, by Mokube Aoki and assistant craftsman Sadakichi Honda, who were invited from Kyoto. This kiln was established by the Kaga domain with the intention of promoting industry. With the opening of this kiln, the momentum for porcelain production spread to the Kaga domain, and the copy of the Gosu akae from this kiln had an influence on the subsequent development of ``Kaga akae.''
