The Ryutagama kiln is home to three generations of skilled ceramicists who work together to create beautiful pieces. The kiln is led by Taki Nakazato, his semi-retired father Takashi, and his son Kenta. Karatsu ceramics showcase a variety of styles, including unglazed fire-scorched Nanban, painted E-garatsu, and Kohiki. The Nakazato family is renowned for their 16 generations of experience and their expertise in creating delicate shapes with intricate details. The slight variations in the clay and angles of the pieces serve as the perfect canvas for the creamy texture of the Kohiki glaze adorned with iron spots. The Nakazato family's signature style has become synonymous with the renowned Karatsu-yaki pottery. Taki's son Kenta is now making his unique mark on the family's legacy of exceptional art and is playfully influencing the rest of the family. Their work can be found in many notable sushi, kaiseki restaurants, and ryokans throughout Japan. Holding one of their creations is an immensely enjoyable experience.
