Our ancestor (First generation Sudo Yujiro) launched his own pottery (Tobo hinata) at Sayado Mashiko machi at Meiji era (1868) who used to work as a craftsman of Jishoji-yaki in Gunma prefecture. At the time of Second generation of Yasutaro, Tobo hinata became one of the biggest potteries and had a lot of craftsmen. Also, around this time Hamada Shoji (one of the most famous pottery artist, and Ja

panese human national treasure) launched his own pottery at Mashiko. The third generation Sudo Takeo learned from Hamada Shoji. The son of Hamada and Takeo was classmates and Hamada had known Takeo since he was childhood, and Hamada helped to make his new private kiln in front of Hamada house. By taking advice from Hamada, Takeo made a bunch of masterpieces. Nowadays Fourth generation Tagami Isamu and Fifth generation Tagami Munetoshi they are creating traditional Mashiko yaki.
