KUROMUTA YAKI-Ceramics of Saga Prefecture 黒牟田焼

 Kuromuta Yaki is made in Takeo, Saga Prefecture. 


I think this is Kuromuta Yaki. It is not marked but it looks very much like the work of Maruta Masami.
He used the simple plant motif in this style on many pieces. He studied under Shoji Hamada and perhaps this motif was influenced by him.
