SHIRAI Hanshichi IX
1928 - 1987
After graduating from Kyoto University of Arts, Shirai Hanshichi specialized in the same style as the 8th generation, the Kenzan copy, and also produced tea ceramics in his own unique style. In 1980, he moved his kiln to Ohara, Sanda City, Hyogo Prefecture, and together with the 8th generation, he developed a close friendship with the ryotei restaurant Kitcho, where he often left works of "Kitcho's favor" such as tea ceremony utensils and kaiseki (banquet) tableware.
