Yokohama ware was born at the same time as the opening of the port with the restoration of Japan. The pottery captivated and fascinated the world. The Yokohama Masuda kiln was opened in 1965 with several craftsmen, inheriting the spirit of pottery that once disappeared due to the earthquake and air raids. It is a kiln that is manufactured as a vessel that evolves with the times as a <Yokohama pottery> that is neither Japanese nor Western tableware.
