            Kozan Miyagawa (1842-1916) "was one of the figures most 
closely associated with the dawn of modern Japanese ceramics. It was 
in Yokohama, in 1871 (Meiji 4), that Miyagawa gave birth to the style 
of Makuzu ware, which became widely celebrated after winning various 
awards both in Japan and at overseas exhibitions, including World 
Expositions. Over the years, Makuzu ware was exported all over the 
world. After Miyagawa's death, the 'school' of Makuzu ware continued 
on until the Showa 30s (1955-1964), under the successive leadership 
of Kozan the Second through to Kozan the Fourth," (Miyagawa Kozan and 
the World of Makuzu Ware, Yokohama Museum of Art).  [32397] $250.00
