Elegant Pottery from the Historic Gojozaka District in Kyoto

Kakouzan-kiln is located in Gojozaka, a historic area in Kyoto’s Higashiyama district known for traditional Kiyomizu-ware pottery.

This family-owned kiln has carried on the art of handmade Japanese ceramics for four generations.

Their work draws inspiration from classical Kenzan aesthetics, combining tradition with a graceful and refined vibrancy.

As if Flowers Bloomed Upon the Ceramic Surface

Each flower is meticulously hand-painted using traditional Japanese pigments, creating a softly dimensional and elegant finish.

The blossoms are rendered with delicate shading, giving them the look of flowers in full bloom.

The soft ceramic texture and gentle coloring add a warm, seasonal touch to any table setting.

A Small Bowl Full of Traditional Kyoto Charm

Infuse a hint of beauty and tradition into your everyday meals.

This handmade ceramic piece is perfect for serving appetizers or small side dishes, offering both function and elegance.

Owner's Comment

This small bowl is ideal for light side dishes like pickled vegetables or marinated salads.

Its motif features *kumazasa* (broadleaf bamboo), a plant known in Japan as a symbol of strength and good fortune—especially in winter, when its leaf edges turn white.

Subtle openwork carvings between the leaves add a delicate sense of balance, blending visual lightness with a refined and grounded design.
