Souta Kiln is a family-run porcelain studio based in Arita, Saga Prefecture—Japan’s historic birthplace of porcelain. With over 400 years of tradition, we create original tableware that blends heritage with everyday life.
Founded in Arita, the birthplace of Japanese porcelain, Souta Kiln continues the tradition through a close collaboration between father and daughter. While preserving centuries-old techniques, we craft tableware suited to the rhythms of modern living.
Each piece is hand-painted, typically in rich indigo tones. Variations in glaze and brushwork give every item a unique texture and warmth—no two pieces are ever the same.
“We aim to create porcelain that feels at home in today’s lifestyle.” Our designs retain the elegance of classic Arita ware while embracing forms and motifs that resonate with contemporary users. These are pieces meant to be used every day—comforting, beautiful, and timeless.
