INISHIE

A work from over 200 years ago

“INISHIE” means “a long time ago” in Japanese. While various styles are in fashion, works that have been passed down since ancient times have universal value.
First of all, we must be grateful that items made by people over 200 years ago have been passed down to the present day in such good condition. Since ancient times, Kyoto has been the center of tea culture and a city where fine works of art are gathered.
This is because wealthy merchant or tea masters placed their orders with various kiln producers.
I think there is a lot to learn from these works. In particular, potters aiming to create “tea pottery” can learn a lot from ancient pieces. By experiencing these things, I also can learn a lot. By actually holding the work in our hands, we can get a variety of information. And being able to introduce them to you all is a new endeavor for “Kyoto Style.”
The works are available for purchase.
(Basically, we would like you to use our artworks on a daily basis, so we offer them at an affordable price range. We are introducing works at the same price range as the contemporary works that we normally sell at Gallery Aoyama.)
Thank you.
