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.
