Ko-Takatori is an elegant pottery from Chikuzen Province (Fukuoka Prefecture). Kotakatori ware was established by Hachizo and Shinkuro, both of whom were from Vikado, Joseon, after the Bunroku and Keicho periods (1592-8). These are a type of hard ware of the Shujun style, which is a synthesis of the pottery methods of Weitong, Karatsu, and Seto of Korea, and those without underglaze decoration are said to be older.
