About Kyo Ware & Kiyomizu Ware

Kyo Ware (京焼) and Kiyomizu Ware (清水焼) are among Japan's most celebrated ceramic traditions, developed in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan.

Rooted in Kyoto's rich cultural history, these ceramics are admired for their delicate craftsmanship, elegant designs, and refined artistic expression.

Master potters such as Nonomura Ninsei and Ogata Kenzan helped establish the distinctive beauty of Kyoto ceramics, combining traditional techniques with sophisticated decorative artistry.
