Kyoto, the thousand-year old capital of Japan, highly values tradition and formality; its culture is said to have reached the pinnacle of sophistication. Kyoto is the source and inspiration of Japanese traditional culture. It's no wonder that in Kyoto a whirlwind of change enveloped and refined the world of pottery, until then a traditional craft which had developed slowly with the tea ceremony.

In 1920, a number of potters including Yaichi Kusube and Isso Yagi formed the group "Sekido". The group advocated an expression of individual personality in ceramic works, transforming the potter from a nameless craftsman into a true artist.
