深川製磁と参考館


 1894年に深川忠次(1871-1934)が深川製磁を設立して以来、その工房と工場はほとんど変わっていません。


 1910年、深川製磁は磁器食器の宮中御用達に指定されました。現在、本店の2階の参考館は歴史を感じさせる展示室となっており、前日までに予約をすれば、皇族の方々のご成婚やご誕生など皇室の重要祝賀行事のほか、晩餐会で使われたものとまったく同じ食器類を見ることができます。これらの器に使用されている花や動物などの特定の装飾の多くは、皇族にとって特別な意味を持っています。


 深川製磁の商標は忠次の会社に対する思いを表すため、象徴的に表現されています。商標には創業以来、富士山と川が描かれてきました。この商標に描かれた富士山は日本の最も有名な象徴の一つです。

후카가와 세이지와 참고관


 1894년에 후카가와 주지(1871~1934)가 후카가와 세이지를 설립한 이래 공방과 공장은 거의 변하지 않았습니다.


 1910년, 후카가와 세이지는 자기 식기 궁중 납품업자로 지정되었습니다. 현재, 본점 2층의 참고관은 역사를 느낄 수 있는 전시실로 꾸며져 있으며, 전날까지 예약하면 황족의 성혼과 탄생 등 황실의 중요 축하 행사와 만찬회 등에서 사용된 것과 똑같은 식기류를 볼 수 있습니다. 이러한 그릇에 사용되는 꽃과 동물 등 특정 장식의 대부분은 황족에게 특별한 의미를 가지고 있습니다.


 후카가와 세이지의 상표는 주지의 회사에 대한 마음을 나타내기 위해 상징적으로 표현되어 있습니다. 상표에는 창업 이래로 후지산과 강이 그려져 왔습니다. 이 상표에 그려진 후지산은 일본의 가장 유명한 상징 중 하나입니다.

Fukagawa-Seiji Kiln and Museum

Since Fukagawa Chūji (1871–1934) founded Fukagawa-Seiji in 1894, the kiln’s workshops and factory remain mostly unchanged. Chūji traveled to Europe to study the techniques used by Western porcelain makers such as the famed British manufacturer Wedgwood and the Meissen potteries in Germany.


Given its long history of foreign exports and the location of Sasebo Naval Base nearby, the company has hosted many ambassadors and naval officers since the end of the 1800s. In the receiving room for special guests, commemorative pieces of pottery decorated by these dignitaries during their visits are on display.


Fukagawa-Seiji was appointed an official purveyor of porcelain tableware to the Japanese Imperial Household in 1910. In the company’s museum on the second floor of their historic showroom, a selection of dining settings identical to those used in important imperial celebrations, including weddings and births, as well as state banquets and daily-use tableware, may be viewed on request. Many of the specific decorations used on these pieces, such as flowers and animals, have specific meanings to the imperial family.


The Fukagawa-Seiji company logo also uses symbolism to express Chūji’s aspirations for the company. Although different marks have been used for various purposes over the years, the logo has historically featured Mt. Fuji and a river. The mountain is one of the most famous symbols of Japan, and the river signifies the flow of trade.
