The Region’s Leading Kutani-yaki Pottery
Suda Seika is a charming gallery and shop associated with a lineage of Kutani-yaki (Kutani porcelain) artists active in Yamashiro Onsen since the 19th century. The appeal of SUDA Seika’s Kutani ware are their rich colours and carefree brushwork, bringing to fruition the 'beauty of use'.
At the entrance to this traditional building, which was originally a merchant house at the turn of the 19th century, one can admire the wood sign that was carved by KITAOJI Rosanjin (1883-1959), a well-known Japanese artist who learned the art of pottery under Suda Seika while staying at the Iroha Soan cottage in 1915.
