Ozaki Touki (尾崎陶器) is a porcelain house based in Saga Prefecture, handling Arita-yaki (有田焼), Hasami-yaki (波佐見焼), and Mikawachi-yaki (三河内焼) since 1877 — now in its fifth generation. Kyūshū's porcelain tradition stretches back over 400 years to the introduction of Korean ceramic techniques, and Arita-yaki is recognised by METI as a traditional craft of Japan. Rather than operating a single kiln, Osazkitoki works as a coordinator across multiple specialist workshops throughout the Hizen (肥前) region, commissioning pieces that draw on each district's particular strengths.

This collaborative model means a single Osazkitoki piece may involve Arita's translucent porcelain clay, Hasami's efficient forming techniques, and Saga's tradition of bold overglaze enamelling. Hand-painting defines the finishing process — decorators apply each brushstroke freehand before multiple firings at around 800°C lock the colour into vivid permanence. The Wakakusa and Uzushio series show this at its best: organic forms and flowing motifs that feel both traditional and refreshingly contemporary.

At iromizu, Ozaki Touki's bowls and donburi sit within Everyday Banquet — pieces that bring a quiet artistry to rice, noodles, and family meals. The kind of tableware where you notice the brushwork mid-bite and pause to appreciate it. Explore the range below.
