Ganka kiln (岩華窯) has been dedicated to traditional craftsmanship since its founding in the early Meiji period in Kiyomizu-zaka in the heart of Kyoto. Passed down through generations, their work continues to honour time-honoured techniques, with each piece carefully handcrafted.

Ryuta Takagi, the sixth-generation artisan, trained at a ceramics institute before refining his skills in Yomitan, Okinawa. Drawing inspiration from Okinawan pottery techniques, he creates distinctive works that set his Kyoto ware and Kiyomizu ware apart, blending tradition with innovation.
