Meet the Artisan

Nabeshima Kosen Kiln

For over 300 years, the Kawazoe family, founders of the Kosen Kiln, honed their craftsmanship during the Edo period, initially working at the Nabeshima domain kilns. Through generations, they meticulously passed down their techniques, preserving the artistry of their forebears. In 1963, under the stewardship of Kawazoe Tameo, the kiln's master at the time, the pursuit of excellence reached new heights as he was acknowledged as a master of Nabeshima celadon porcelain. His fervent desire to democratize Nabeshima celadon ware spurred years of dedicated research into celadon glazes, culminating in a reinvigorated Nabeshima Kosen Kiln.

In 2004, the kiln underwent a transformative rebranding, emerging as the ‘Nabeshima Kosen Kiln’. This pivotal moment marked the company's evolution, accompanied by the introduction of a captivating series of tea utensils. Simultaneously, the visionary brand ‘KOSEN’ emerged, offering a contemporary reinterpretation of Nabeshima ware, blending tradition with modern sensibilities. With a steadfast commitment to 'establish Nabeshima-yaki culture', Nabeshima Kosen Kiln endeavors to preserve and perpetuate inherited techniques and cultural heritage, ensuring a legacy that transcends generations.
