Nnomura Nisnei
After returning to the capital, he made ceramics in front of the gate of the Omura Ninnaji Temple.
We handle supplies used at the same temple.
His style used elegantly colored pottery fired with paintings.
He established the modern mainstream Kyo ware style of Ninseiyaki.
Additionally, he is considered to be the first potter who included not just the name of the kiln but the seal of the artist on his pottery.
As for his pseudonym, "Nonomura" comes from his birthplace, while "Nin" was granted to him by Ninnaji Temple; "sei" comes from his real name, "Seiemon," so he became "Nonomura Ninsei."
