hirado shouzan

Hirado Shouzan is a historic Japanese porcelain kiln located in Nagasaki Prefecture, tracing its origins to 1622 when Korean potter Koraibaba discovered high-quality clay in Mikawachi. As a custodian of Mikawachi-yaki—a style originally developed for the ruling Hirado domain and presented to the Shogun and European royalty—the kiln preserves centuries of ceramic heritage.
