Authentic beauty of Satsuma ware that has been refined and preserved for more than 400 years Eating party to appreciate ware with the 15th Chin Jukan of the head family of Satsuma ware
The tradition and technique of Satsuma ware have been inherited for over 400 years as a purveyor to the Shimazu family. The 15th Chin Jukan, who symbolizes it, directly planned this unique and special hospitality experience. Satsuma ware: Black Satsuma ware was called “kuromon”, which was popular among the common people, while white Satsuma ware was called “shiromon”, which pursued elegance and sophisticated techniques and was highly valued as furnishings of the Shimazu Domain and gifts to the Shogun family. Today, they are owned by museums around the world.
