New, Unused - Akahada Sanmoto Kiln Yunomi (Teacup) About the Akahada Sanmoto Kiln: Akahada ware began in the Tensho era when Toyotomi Hidenaga, the lord of Yamato Koriyama Castle, invited Tokuro, a potter from Tokoname, to open a kiln. While the details after Tokuro are unclear, there is a legend that Enshu and Ninsei came and instructed the local artisans. The current kiln was re-established around the Tenmei era (1781-), by Jihei, the founder of the Moto Kiln, who entered Akayama Gojo-zan from Kyoto. He did so at the behest of Lord Ryozan Yanagisawa, the lord of the Yamato Koriyama domain, and received the "Akahata" seal from the lord as a kiln for the domain. After that, two kilns, east and west, were separated, with this kiln in the middle. That is why this kiln was called the "Middle Kiln" until recently. Near the end of the Edo period, Okuda Mokuhaku, who appeared in Koriyama, used this kiln to create Nara-e style teacups and many other masterpieces. Meanwhile, the "Toukikou" by Tani Umeiken was published, and the kiln was fortunate enough to be introduced as one of the seven Enshu-style kilns, raising its reputation in Kyoto. The glory of the three Akahada kilns ended in the 1890s, and by the early Showa era, half a century later, only the "Middle Kiln" remained. The Akahada tradition, which was passed down to the "Middle Kiln," was preserved by the efforts of the fifth and sixth Jihei, who took the name Gyosan, and has been passed down to the present day. Taking this opportunity, the name "Middle Kiln" was changed to "Moto Kiln," meaning the legitimate lineage of the founder.
