Imaemon Kiln

A pottery studio with a roughly 370-year history reaching back to 1644. They maintain the tradition of the official glazers of iro-nabeshima ware for the Nabeshima clan as gifts to the shogun during the Edo period. They've been certified as purveyors of a nationally Important Intangible Cultural Property. The kiln's pieces are housed in many museums, including the Agency for Cultural Affairs and the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo.
