Makuzu Ware Museum

About

In order to produce ceramics for export, Kozan I opened his Makuzu workshop in present Minami-ku in Yokohama in 1871. From Yokohama, Makuzu ware crossed the seas and gained many prizes in Universal Expositions worldwide.
Most of the works had been exported, and few remained in Japan, and Kozan III who took over the business following Kozan II died in the great fire caused by the bombing in Yokohama, which resulted in the loss of most of the important documents. This is why the Makuzu ware is sometimes described as “legendary ceramic”.

The pieces exhibited in this museum are not only ones that remained in Japan, but also some that were found and brought back to Japan from the U.S.A., the U.K., France and Australia.

We hope that you will enjoy your visit of this Makuzu ware museum.
