Kinkozan Sobei VI & VII Kinkozan Sobei VI (1824-1884) introduced the most fashionable of all Meiji styles to Kyoto. Beginning in 1870, his huge factory produced a wide range of Satsuma ware, from pieces of the highest technical and artistic quality to large numbers of cheap items. Kinkozan, who belonged to an old Awata family of potters, regularly received bronze or silver medals at the Kyoto Exhibitions and major awards at international fairs. His son, Sobei VII (1868 - 1927), took over the factory and used the various ceramics institutions to promote technical and aesthetic improvements in Kyoto wares. He was among the first in Japan to welcome Art Nouveau, exhibiting vases influenced by this style in 1905 at the fifth Kyoto Exhibition. The factory finally closed soon after the death of Sobei VIII in 1930. ~This history can be found in Gisela Jahn's book, Meiji Ceramics. Â
