Exporting for industrial development
After the Meijji Restration, the kilns lost the support of the clan. Craftsmen of the former Daishoji clan endeavored to improve their skills as artists, and among these, skilled craftsmen such as Ginshu Takenouchi, Ichigo Asai and Seika Suda emerged. Meanwhile, artisans of the Kaga clan found a new way to survive in the export industry; Kutani Shoza and other craftsmen exported gold-painted colorful porcelain called “Japan Kutani” to the West.
