Kochi ware is a type of ceramic ware produced in southern China since the 18th century, and its name comes from the fact that it was brought to the country through trade with Vietnam's Kochi and China's Sina. It was brought by trading ships called Kochi ships on the southern route from Southeast Asia, and the particularly vividly colored ware came to be called "Kochi ware" after the name of the trading ship.
As tea masters favored it for use at tea ceremonies, it later came to be produced in Kyoto as well, and is now one of the most representative production methods for Kyoto ware.
It is a rare firing method that uses the same ingredients as colored glass to produce vivid colors, and is only produced in Kyoto at potteries with the special kilns and firing techniques.

KOSHUN TOUEN Co.,
Koshun Touen is a workshop that has been in business for three generations in the Hiyoshi area, a region famous as one of Kyoto's leading ceramic production areas.
Using the "Kochi technique" which produces striking, vivid colors, they create a wide range of products, from tea ceremony utensils to everyday tableware.
The intricate patterns that are characteristic of Kochi are the result of the "Icchin" technique, in which clay is melted into a paste and squeezed out of a bag like icing cookies.
