Posted By: Emiko Tue, Jun 30, 2009 In 1859, since Tokugawa opened the trade with American, English, Dutch, Russian & French governments, opening a port of Yokohama, Imari, Satsuma , Kyo-yaki and Kutani potteries & porcelains were shipped out of Japan. In 1871, when new Meiji government changed old feudal system, potters once protected by lords had lost their jobs and found themselves out of protection and out of work. Yokohama became a bustling and bubbling community of merchants, opportunists from all over Japan. Crafts people were gathered around by these entrepreneurs and, benefiting from their traditional skills under strict trainings in feudal systems, they were able to produce exquisite fine potteries and porcelains. They made anything and any styles of goods ordered for the export, using their traditional techniques and decoration methods but the products were truly commercial except some of the true artist produced pieces such as Makuzu Kozan-made. These porcelain & pottery goods made in and around Yokohama port were known as Yokohama-yaki, including Yokohama Satsuma. Hodota brand made during this period falls into this type of Yokohama-Satsuma. The products were made under demand at small factories and studios set up quickly to meet foreign trades. It is a safe guess to think �Hodota� as a trade merchant's name based in Yokohama in the late Edo into the Meiji period, not any particular studio or family maker�s name. With further re-search in Japan, more information about Hotoda might be available soon. |

Posted By: Emiko Tue, Jun 30, 2009 The name," Ho-do-ta" is a family last name in Japan. In my previous message, I read, hotoda, which can be possible, but, it's more common to prounounce, " ho-do-ta", I think. Just to make some correction. Sorry. |
