During the years between 1789-1817, lord of Kusama Domain, Makino Sadaharu encouraged the pottery industry as part of the domain’s policy to promote industries. In 1861 six potters were designated the shihō-kama (kilns for passing the craft and techniques to posterity) of Kasama Domain, of which Kuno Kiln remains in use today.
