Miyama was founded in 1977 in Mizunami City, the origin place of Risen-yaki and the unique technique of copper-based painting on ceramics. The company is modern and creative but strictly adheres to time-proven traditions of porcelain production.
Miyama uses traditional casting methods to produce tableware - plaster moulds, and the skills of many people are used to make porcelain. The company also combines modern quality control technologies with traditional manufacturing to add modern efficiency and durability to traditional beauty.
Traditional manufacturing in Mizunami doesn’t mean “repeating the same process” day after day. Instead, the artisans make improvements every time they make an item. Over the years, these small increments lead to great progress toward perfection.
Ceramics manufacturing requires harmony with clay, flame, and other things that usually don’t go well together. However, by adhering to traditions, inheriting the spirit of ancestors and turning time into an invaluable tool, Miyama’s artisans achieve incredible results.
Miyama combines the ideas of designers and customers with materials and traditional manufacturing techniques originating from Mizunami City. Everything, from planning to firing, is done in-house so Miyama can maintain strict quality control at every step. As a result, Miyama creates beautiful and durable products that perfectly suit the client’s needs.
