5 low-fired plates in sundown-colors decorated with seasonal images by Nakagawa Wado (1880-1943) from the Jusanken Kiln of Osaka. Each is roughly 14 cm (5-1/2 inches) diameter and in excellent condition.
The Kikko Kiln was established in Osaka in the opening years of the 19th century by Iyo native Toda Jihe, who had learned the ceramic arts in Kyoto under all of the great names of the time, Kiyoizu Rokubei I, Ryonyu the 9th generation head of the Raku family, and Ninnami Dohachi among others. He would be known as Jusanken Shogetsu. After being noticed by then Daimyo of Osaka area Mizuno Tadakuni, he received the kiln name Kikko. His works were distributed as gifts among the Daimyo, and he was called to work in many fiefs creating “Niwa Yaki” kilns throughout Japan. During the Meiji the kiln would be split into two continuing lineages, one using the Jusanken stamp, the other Kikko Shogetsu.
