kyo porcelain
toko porcelain
Starting from the second year of Bunkyu (1862) he worked making Koto-ware for Ii Naosuke of the Hikone domain until the kiln was abandoned. He then moved to Kyoto where he established the fist kiln dedicated to producing porcelain and worked under the name Terao Denshichi. In the first year of the Meiji era (1868) he worked to supply the Kyoto Prefectural Office, following which he studied 13 styles of Western painting (such as Western cobalt) under Wagner and produced Japan’s first Western-style paintings. In the following three years, production was renamed Matsuuntei and he worked under the name Kato Kanzan. In 1871, he took over Western style painting from Wagner and from 1873 onward named himself Kanzan Denshichi. Established the Kanzan Pottery Company from 1885 to 1889, primarily providing Western-style tableware to various departments in the Imperial Household Ministry. He was also very well known in the bonsai world, bequeathing a number of highly artistic specimens.
