Satsuma Chin Jukan Exhibit

 I had the pleasure and wonderful opportunity to visit the exhibit of the 15th generation Chin Jukan. He kindly took time to answer my questions and to tell me about his work. Some of the exhibit also included some of the 350 year history of the origin of Satsuma Yaki. Pieces include white Satsuma with exquisite decoration work, as well as black Satsuma.

FUTAGAWA YAKI (二川焼)-Ceramics of Fukuoka Prefecture

 The exact origins of Futagawa pottery are not fully known. The old Futagawa ware was somewhat similar to Shodai yaki. In Early Meiji period production was halted and then later re-started by a potter from Yumino, in Saga Prefecture. It shares the pine motif much like Takeo Yaki. It appears that Bernard Leach the famous British potter and close friend of Shoji Hamada spent some time working there.
