What is Seikogama?
Seikogama is a kiln specializing in overglaze decoration and embellishment, which began in the early Taisho period with craftsmen who were painters.
Their unique blend of Japanese pigments, which are glassy, highly transparent, and thickly applied, combined with highly precise printing technology and the accumulated know-how from years of manufacturing experience, allows for full decoration on various product shapes.
Even though their products utilize transfer paper, the combined efforts of skilled craftsmen and others involved achieve a quality that rivals handmade items, maximizing the characteristics of Kutani ware.
