• Three-Colored Patern

    “To Sansai,” “Nara Sansai,” and “Shosoin Sansai” are historically well-known. Sansai (“three colors”) is often used for decoration rather than practical applications because it has a soft glaze and is fired at low temperature. The “Persian Sansai” from long ago is another example of this. However, for “Hongyo Sansai,” potters use Seto techniques to fire works at high temperatures and make them suitable for practical use. Perhaps this was achievable precisely due to Seto’s history as a pioneer in creating glazed ceramics. The elegant and graceful form has a presence that sets it apart from plain ceramic ware, bringing color to the dining table.

SETOHONGYOGAMA

「“Hongyo” refers to pottery that has been made from the beginning in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, which is known for Seto ware. The name “Hanjiro Mizuno” has been passed down from generation to generation, and we have continued to create pottery that is functional while preserving our traditional division of labor system. We are currently in our seventh generation. Using the soil of our hometown, we create a wide variety of original glazes and patterns, with a focus on Kiseto glaze, horse’s eye patterns, “wheat straw” patterns, three-colored patterns, and so on. Yusuke Mizuno, the eighth-generation successor, has inherited these traditions.
