Although the kiln is now defunct (廃窯), very little documentary information survives regarding the individual potter or workshop lineage. Today, Yohen pots are appreciated by collectors for their refined forms, high-quality stoneware and beautifully executed glazes, particularly the deep blues, celadons and Oribe greens for which the kiln became known. Genuine Yohen examples remain increasingly sought after due to their rarity and the disappearance of the workshop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2333\" data-end=\"2354\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2333\" data-end=\"2354\"\u003eCollector's Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2356\" data-end=\"2902\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThis example is an excellent representation of Yohen's craftsmanship.
