Tanshin Kiln — The Radiance of Crystal in HasamiPorcelain
Nestled in the quiet hills of Hasami, Nagasaki, Tanshin Kiln has been perfecting the art of white porcelain since its founding in 1978.
Its signature and registered technique, Suishōbori® (“Crystal Carving”),
breathes life into porcelain with a rare brilliance—transparent as crystal, yet
enduring in strength. Through meticulous hand-carving, delicate inlay, and two rounds of high-temperature firing at over 1,300°C, each piece emerges as a vessel of extraordinary refinement. More than tableware,
Tanshin Kiln creations are works of art that enrich both the table and the spirit.
Mastery that Embodies Timeless Purity
Every piece from Tanshin Kiln carries the devotion of its craftsmen, who shape light itself into porcelain.
The translucent white, illuminated by crystal-like radiance, harmonizes effortlessly with both Japanese and Western cuisine, transforming any dining occasion into a stage of elegance.
With their enduring beauty and dignified presence, these porcelains are destined to be cherished for generations—a true embodiment of timeless purity and craft.
A Singular Brilliance, Beyond Compare
Suishōbori® cannot be replicated through mass production; it is the culmination of patience, mastery, and time.
The process—carving, inlaying secret clays, and firing at intense heat—yields porcelain that shines like a jewel, each piece entirely unique. To own one is not simply to acquire fine tableware, but to hold in your hands the living heritage of four centuries of Hasami craftsmanship, renewed by the spirit of modern artisans.
Tanshin Kiln porcelain is a treasure reserved for those who truly recognize beauty and value.
