Modern Production
The current head of the kiln, Okamura Jinen, represents the 16th generation of Asahi potters. He and his predecessors have continued to use locally sourced clay and traditional wood-fired kilns (noborigama). While maintaining classic tea utensils, contemporary Asahi ware sometimes incorporates modern interpretations—experimenting with form, firing, and glaze to connect tradition with today’s sensibilities.
