Notice of temporary closure
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your special kindness during the last year.
We will be temporarily closed for a while from January 12th (Tuesday) due to the renovation of the store.
We look forward to your continued patronage of the new Kataoka Kozando.
Kutani's gem,
with a wide range full of personality
Built next to the famous Kenrokuen Garden and in front of the Ishikawa Gate, Kataoka Kozando was established in 1920.
The founder being a successful Kutaniyaki pottery painter,
our shop is a long-established Kutaniyaki specialty shop that lasts three generations.


Kataoka Kozando is located on the right hand side after getting out of Kenrokuen, Katsurazaka exit.
The white grid pattern wall called the 'Namako Wall' is our shop's landmark.

I drew blue and white grains and powerfully reproduced the 2021 zodiac sign Ox.
The figurine is Yin Metal Ox
The main body is made by striking white grains and drawing iron wire flowers, and striking blue grains on the back and sprinkling cherry blossoms.
This product is released only once every 12 years.
In front of the shop, you can spot the view of the magnificent masonry-built Ishikawa gate.
It is also located adjacent to the famous Kenrokuen garden. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, you can enjoy the nature and its rich taste every season.
Starting from 21st Century Museum, our shop is surrounded by many Japanese Art related facilities such as the Kanazawa Noh Museum, Ishikawa Museum of Modern Literature, Ishikawa Prefectural Art Museum and Ishikawa Prefectural History Museum.
