Taishū Yaki has a long history, originating from the Korea Buzan kilns back to the Silla Period. It was established on Tsushima Island (in what is now Nagasaki Prefecture). It was active in the Edo period, died out, was revived during the Meiji period and dwindled again. It was revived again in the mid 20th century. There are two kilns I know about, Taishū Yo ( Kobayashi Tōgo 小林東五) and Kudagama 久田窯 (Kusu Akihito 玖須明弘).
