<昭楽窯・松楽窯 Shorakugama>
The founder of this kiln, Sasaki Kichinosuke, were fascinated by
the artistic sense of “Rikyu-wabicha” and the thought of “Zen”.
He moved close to Kiyomizudera-temple from the center of Kyoto

to create his own kiln. After that, he started to have his own “Shor-
akugama” kiln.

In present, the kiln has changed the name to “Kiraigama” kiln
when it was moved to a mountain of Kameoka, north side of Kyoto.
The history of the kiln has been developing for about total 10
decades with thoughts and skills from Kichinosuke Sasaki, the
founder of Shorakugama kiln.
