The Kiyomizu-ware pottery at Tousengama sits behind a storefront marked by traditional noren curtains and shelves crowded with handcrafted ceramics. This kiln belongs to the Koshigoe family, who have practiced the art of Kyoto stoneware here for generations. While many workshops in the district produce mass-market souvenirs, the family focuses on refined, hand-painted pieces that follow the centuries-old aesthetic of the Higashiyama artisans. Their work rests on the tradition of creating vessels that balance daily utility with the precision of tea ceremony ware.
