Banko ware has a history dating back about 300 years. Zuigetsugama has been protecting and nurturing that tradition. Zuigetsugama is the third generation, along with his two sons Jun and Ushio, and his wife Kishiyo. They have devoted their lives to the outstanding techniques of traditional craftsmanship, and are constantly striving to create elegant tableware that can be cherished and used for generations to come.
