Known as "Shiromon," White Satsuma originated as the official pottery for the Satsuma lords at the Naeshirogawa kiln. Artisans mold white clay and apply a transparent glaze, resulting in its signature fine surface crazing. - What is "Kannyu" (Crackle Patterns)? Kannyu is a hallmark of White Satsuma beauty. These crackle-like lines occur during the firing process due to the different expansion rates between the clay and the glaze. These patterns reflect light to create a variety of elegant textures.
