Iro-Nabeshima overglaze porcelain and celadon

What you’ll find

What Nabeshima Kosen Kiln is known for

Nabeshima Kosen Kiln works in celadon, white porcelain and the layered overglaze enamels of iro-Nabeshima from a workshop in Imari, tracing its output to the presentation wares once reserved for the shogunate. The kiln's own site lays out this Nabeshima-clan lineage rather than relying on a tourism-board summary.
