You are invited to come along with me as I learn about Japanese ceramics. I will share what I learn about the kilns, history, terminology, potters, decorators, styles, and marks. This is a work in progress. ** NOTICE: I NO LONGER ANSWER QUERIES ON PERSONAL PIECES. I DO NOT GIVE VALUATIONS.

SHUSSAI-GAMA of Shimane Prefecture
Shussai kiln (出西窯) of Shimane Prefecture, was established in 1947 by a group of young potters who were influenced by the "Mingei" folk pottery movement. The potters received instructional visits from esteemed Mingei potters like Leach, Hamada, Kawai and Yanagi. It is a communal kiln with potters working together to produce wonderful wares for daily living.
