What Hirado Shozan is known for
Hirado Shozan works in the imperial-kiln tradition of Mikawachi ware, specializing in blue-and-white underglaze and pure white porcelain, including the karako child figures that were a Hirado-domain specialty. The kiln in Mikawachi keeps a workshop and gallery where the throwing and painting can be watched.
