SATSUMA YAKI (薩摩焼き)-Ceramics of Kagoshima Prefecture

Satsuma of Kagoshima Prefecture is considered Hon-Satsuma or the original Satsuma. In the West Satsuma gets all lumped together in one big lump, but there is usually a great difference between the style and quality of the Satsuma labeled wares. Satsuma style spread to Kyoto (Kyo- Satsuma), Kobe, Yokohama, Ishikawa and other areas. Some makers imitated Satsuma style in porcelain as well. It can be rather confusing to novices. Unfortunately during the export boom of the late 19th century and early 20th century a lot of what Westerners call Satsuma is anything but! There is a lot of enameling and moriage styles that claimed the Satsuma label. In all, there are many levels of quality of Satsuma and Satsuma styled wares.

Within Hon-Satsuma there are different styles. White Satsuma, black Satsuma, Naeshirogawa, Ryūmonji, Jakatsu ( snake skin) among others.

                                                ******************************************************

 I keep coming across a Seto mark that interested me. I began some research on it and have made some progress. 

The one on the left is most likely read Asahi Gama (旭窯). This mark is associated with potter Shunji Hayashi (林春治).  

In 1979 Mr. Hayashi opened a new kiln called Tsubaki Gama (椿窯, mark on the right). Because of multiple readings for the same Kanji character I am not 100% sure of the reading of the potters given name.  I will update as I confirm this. His specialty is with blue and white sometsuke porcelain.
