Yamaaki, 3rd Generation Potter Kataoka Toshio. The kiln was started by Kataoka Akitsuga and fired by three generations of potters, until it finally went 'cold' in 2011. It was the most productive bonsai pot kiln in Tokoname, fired with gas, which gives those fantastic clay colours mimicking the pots of ancient China. There are many production Yamaaki pots available; those with nail-carved signatures were handmade by the Kataoka family and are consequently more valuable.
