IMARUYO
We were founded in 1917 as the Ikeda Yosaku Shop and began exporting to the U.S. The second-generation owner, Ikeda Setsuo, changed the name to Ikeda Maruyo Pottery Manufacturing Co. in 1950 and engaged in the export of Meissen-style Seto novelty products to the U.S. The third-generation owner, Ikeda Hiroyuki, renamed the company IMARUYO in 2010. In recent years, we have manufactured new products while continuing to respect tradition. These include the “seto-ne,” which amplifies the sound from smartphones; thimbles with ukiyoe motifs; musical clocks (shaped like violins and pianos); and a joint work called “Hougyoku” that we completed with an elite designer.
