CHUGAI TOEN

The history of Seto-yaki ceramics dates back over 1,000 years. Though kilns in other regions produced unglazed pottery, the Seto kiln became the first to produce pottery with a full glaze, known as ‘Furu-Seto ware'. Blue-and-white glazed porcelain production quickly spread during the Edo Era, with Seto becoming the largest porcelain producer in Japan. Seto porcelain received widespread recognition thanks to displays at international expositions, and Seto's name became synonymous with ceramics worldwide. Today, as one of Japan's renowned six ancient kilns, Seto remains the preeminent center of porcelain production, having played a key role in the development of Japanese pottery culture.
