About Morisato Touraku:

Morisato Touraku is a pottery studio in Kyoto that began its work in the early 1900s (around the Taisho period, 1912–1926), and has continued for over 100 years. Their signature style is called Kyo-Mishima, known for its soft, refined beauty.

The studio uses a traditional technique called Inka, where patterns are carved or stamped into the clay and then filled with white slip. This creates delicate, lace-like floral designs. The result is pottery that is both elegant and warm, decorative yet comforting.
