History
Hikone lies on the eastern shore of
Meiji restoration in the years Tenpō 13 ~ Bunkyū 2 (1842 ~ 1862).[2] The 15th lord, Ii Naosuke, was an enthusiastic and accomplished practitioner of the Japanese tea ceremony in the Sekishūryū style. His writings include at least two works on the tea ceremony. He invited potters and painters from all over Japan to come and further develop Kotō ware. Painters such as Kosai and Meiho improved the art form. Lord Ii Naosuke was assassinated during the Sakuradamon Incident (1860), the downfall of the family began, and the patronage of the production of kotō ware was gradually lost, ceasing in 1895.[3]
The kiln (kama-ba ato (窯場跡)) has been inscribed by the government into the List of Historic Sites of Japan (Shiga).[4] There are attempts to revive it.
Characteristics
Many pieces of high quality were produced, such as aka-e kinsai,
Nonomura Ninsei's wares.[5]
