Makuzu Kozan, also known as Miyagawa Kozan, was a potter from Kyoto who set up a workshop in the suburbs of Yokohama in 1871 to produce ceramics for export to Europe and North America. His vases with their high relief modelling and use of bright colors and gilding, are classic examples of Japanese export products made to appeal to the Victorian taste.
