About this place
Ohi ware is a branch kiln of Raku ware in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, with 350 years of history and tradition. In the sixth year of Kanbun (1666) in the early Edo period, Maeda Tsunanori, fifth lord of the Kaga domain of one million koku, invited Sen'so (Sen Soshitsu, fourth head of Urasenke) from Kyoto as master of tea ceremony utensils. Accompanying him was the potter Haji Chozaemon, who had studied under Ichinyu, fourth head of the Raku family, and was his foremost disciple.
