The Kinkōzan family of masters went down in history as five generations of masters creating works in the Satsuma style. The first workshop was founded in 1645 in Kyoto. In addition to production, representatives of the Kinkōzan family themselves collected rare porcelain: for example, their personal collection included tea bowls and other personal porcelain of the Tokugawa shogun. The collection belonged to the family for almost the entire Edo period. After the Meiji Restoration, they continued to produce beautiful Satsuma products until the workshop was closed in 1927.
