1894-1985
Mino pottery
Living National Treasure
Around 1586, Shino ware suddenly appeared in records of tea ceremonies, being used as the bowl. During the Keicho period, problems with production efficiency and other issues caused a decline and eventually a complete halt in production.
Arakawa Toyozo, after experiencing much difficulty, revived the tradition of Shino ware, which became a success. He was eventually named a Living National Treasure and is regarded as one of the finest potters in history.
Born on March 21st, 1894. Educated by Miyanaga Tozan, went to Kamakura and aided in the making of pottery at Kitaoji Ronsanjin. In 1930, he discovered the process of using a kiln from the Momoyama period at Ogaya in the Kani district of Gifu prefecture. Nearby, he began to work, building a kiln and reproducing Shino, Yellow Seto (Kizeto), and Black Seto ware (Setoguro). 30 years as a Living National Treasure and 46 years in the Order of Culture. Died August 11th, 1985 at 91 years of age.

Arakawa Toyozo was partly responsible for the Momoyama Revival of Mino ware, particularly Mino Oribe and Shino wares. He worked at the kiln of Miyagawa Tozan in Kyoto and later for Kitaoji Rosanjin in Kamakura. He established the Suigetsu kiln in 1946. He was given the prestigious title of Living National Treasure in 1955 for his Shino and Setoguro ware (one reason Rosanjin refused the title when he was offered in 1959 was likely because he was previously passed over in favor of Arakawa Toyozo).
