Kosôbe-yaki are ceramics produced in the Kosôbe district of Takasuki (Osaka-fu) since 1600. The kiln belonged to the Enshû nana gama (seven kilns particularly suitable for the production of tea ceramics favored of the great tea master Kobori Enshû.). It was closed down at the end of the Meiji period, but revived in 1979.
