Founded in 1978, this kiln is located at the foot of the mountains in Otarugo, Hasami Town, Nagasaki Prefecture, a region renowned for its pottery.
It took about 5 years to establish the technique of “crystal carving” (trademark registration).
In 2023, Tadayoshi Nagasaki, the second generation, started to work at the same kiln.

In its early days, the kiln produced only cloudy Hotaru-yaki pottery*.
However, through relentless trial and error, it finally succeeded in creating a new type of Hotaru-yaki—one that was colorless, transparent, and radiantly beautiful.
Its crystal-like brilliance led to the name "Suisho-bori" (Crystal Carving).
"Suisho-bori" is a unique technique developed by Tanshin Kiln, in which high-quality white porcelain from Amakusa, Kumamoto Prefecture is meticulously perforated.
The holes are then carefully filled with a specially blended clay, a secret formula of Tanshin Kiln, and fired to create a shimmering, crystal-like transparency.
Each hole is hand-carved by artisans, and the clay is manually inserted into each one.
The pieces are then fired twice at 1,300°C, a time-intensive process that ensures their exceptional quality and beauty.
*Hotaru-yaki (literally "firefly ware") is a ceramic technique where translucent holes are carved into the pottery and filled with glaze, allowing light to pass through.
