Kajicho Yaki was invented during the late Edo period (1804) by Iori Fudaru in Iwate prefecture. The technique passed on for four generations, however, towards the end of the Meiji period, the factory shut down and the Kiln was then abandoned in 1943. Fortunately, Katsuyoshi Abe revived the Kajicho Yaki in 1947. Building the kiln used for Kajicho Yaki took two years of refining and adjusting. The kiln is able to reach 1200 degree celsius. To keep up with the changing aesthetic, potteries made of Kajicho Yaki are diversifying in shapes and function.
