Profile

Kohakutogeisha was established by Jiro-san at Ureshino-machi in 2002. It is the place of three minutes' drive from the Ureshino interchange of Nagasaki Highway, facing Prefectural Route 1, with the yellow signboard as a mark. There is the Ureshino-onsen which is known as the three most beautiful skin's effect in Japan. It is the ideal environment for making ceramic, surrounded by gentle hills. Jiro-san was a son of Hakuko-san who was designated as Saga Prefecture Important Intangible Cultural Asset. He studied ceramics under Konzan kiln. He became independent of the kiln with succeeding because Hakuko-san passed away and there was no person who took over her kinrande, yurikisai technique. He didn't receive any lessons from Hakuko-san, so he challenged the art while remembering days of her high level work. Consequently porcelain is created with colorful, dazzling glitters. Jiro-san died lamented in 2010. Jiro-san's wife, Emi-san manages the kiln currently.
