Kyoto, Japan · Kyoto ware since 1935
Kumagai
Kumagai was founded in Kyoto in 1935 and makes traditional Kyoto pottery, known as Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki. Kyoto ware has long borrowed forms and techniques from across Japan, giving it a rich variety of shapes and glazes.
The craft
Kyoto pottery
Pottery has been made in Kyoto for centuries. As the old capital drew craftsmen from every region, its potters absorbed many styles, and Kyo-yaki became known for variety rather than one look.
Kumagai continues that tradition from its Kyoto workshop, making tea and sake wares for the table.
