Karatsu Ware?
The history of Karatsu pottery dates back to the late 1500's, and enjoyed its 'Golden Age' during Japan's Momoyama period, alongside the Shino and Oribe traditions. Historically, Karatsu ware has been highly prized by tea ceremony practioners, and though it is quite famous inside Japan, it is not well known abroad, outside ceramics and tea circles. Karatsupots.com was created as a showcase for Mike's work at Gotanbayashi Gama, and as a venue for introducing traditional and contemporary Karatsu wares to a wider audience.

My work can be found for sale online at:

If you see any work here that is not available currently at either of the online galleries, please contact me directly. I will do my best to accomodate your needs. If what you like is no longer available, I can send you photos of similar items, or arrangements can be made for custom orders.

Thank you,

Mike
