About arakitoyo

Araki Togama preserves and evolves the 425-year legacy of Satsuma ware. Led by 15th-generation master Hideki Araki, the kiln masterfully crafts classical pieces while pioneering original techniques such as Horimon (carving), Hamon (ripple patterns), and Yakishime (high-fire unglazed stoneware).

These innovative styles represent the new face of Satsuma ware, designed to inspire future generations. By refining his craft through prestigious national exhibitions, Hideki Araki creates functional daily items that possess the elegance and presence of fine art.

Modern Satsuma Ware: A Fusion of Heritage and Innovation

Hideki Araki remains steadfast in his commitment to authentic Satsuma ware, never straying from its traditional roots. Yet, he alone possesses the mastery to express the evolution of this craft for future generations. Using his acclaimed techniques, he transforms heritage into a living legacy that only a 15th-generation master can achieve.
