Hozen EIRAKU, the 11th
1795-1854
A potter of the late Edo period. Adopted by the 10th generation Nishimura Zengoro (Ryozen), an earthenware potter, and succeeded to the 11th generation. He was invited by Tokugawa Harutomi, the feudal lord of Kii Wakayama, to start Kairakuen Pottery and was given the two characters of "Eiraku". With a pottery technique that freely imitated not only Japanese pottery but also Korean, Chinese, and Koji pottery, he produced everything from tea sets and decorative objects to daily necessities.
