History:

Seto Kiln Is Located Both Geographically And Symbolically At The Center Of Japan. “Setomoto,” A Japanese Word That Directly Translates To “Seto Things,” Is A Synonym For Glazed Ceramics In General – A Linguistic Clue Into The Influence Seto Kiln Has Had On Japanese Ceramic Tradition. The Locally Sourced Clay Surrounding Seto Has Almost No Iron Content, Resulting In A Luminous White Quality. This Is The Perfect Backdrop For Bright Colors And Complex Glazing Patterns, Many Of Which Have Been In Production For Centuries.
