    Kanzan Denshichi was one of the most prominent craftsmen among the Kyoto ceramic industry in the early Meiji era.
    Kanzan Denshichi(1821-1890) was born in a potter family in Seto, who moved to Kyoto in the end of the Edo period, after working at a Koto ware kiln, which was the Hikone Domain kiln. After the Meiji Restoration, he was the first in Kyoto to specialize in porcelain, and ushered a new phase into traditional Kyoyaki, by constructing a large scaled workshop and actively adopting western colored glaze. In a short time, Kanzan's polychrome porcelain became popular, being purchased by the Imperial Household Ministry, and also received high appraisal at international expositions.
