“Karatsu ware was at its peak from the Momoyama period to the early Edo period. At that time, Japan has been greatly influenced by diplomacy with Korea and China regarding tea ceremony culture, especially tea utensils.

I’d like to learn from Kogaratsu -Old Karatsu- and Chanoyu –ceramics for tea Japanese ceremony-, and thank a lot of things from nature, I always want to seek the meaning of make.”
