Uchide Pottery

Uchide pottery was established in 1910 (Meiji 43) by Sakaguchi Shozo (art name: Sazan) in present-day Kasuga Town, Ashiya City, and it was produced until the 1970s (Showa era). The Uchide Hills were known for producing high-quality clay. Noticing this, Saito Ikuta, with the cooperation of Wada Kurojuromasataka, the founder of Kotoura pottery (present-day Amagasaki City), started garden pottery in his garden at his home in present-day Kusunoki Town, Ashiya City, in 1906 (Meiji 39), involving his head clerk, Sakaguchi, in the pottery-making process.

In 1910 (Meiji 43), Sakaguchi became independent, and by 1914 (Taisho 3), he established the Uchide Pottery Ceramics Factory with a capital of 10,000 yen. According to the "Mukogun Journal" published in 1921 (Taisho 10), "The products mainly include all daily necessities, flower vases, confectionery utensils, tea utensils, etc." and "mainly sold to Osaka, Kobe, Nada, Tokyo, and Nara areas."

In 1937 (Showa 12), the first generation Sazan passed away, and Sakaguchi Atsushi succeeded him as the second generation Sazan. By the 1970s (Showa era), due to residential development in the vicinity, it became impossible to obtain pottery clay, and the second generation Sazan also fell ill around this time, leading to the cessation of pottery making. In 1973 (Showa 48), the kiln was demolished due to the Kasuga Land Readjustment Project.
