KINSHODO
Kaneko Rinzo, a master of Arita ware red painting who was active from the Meiji era to the early Showa period, laid the foundation for Kinshodo with his exceptional craftsmanship and visionary design.
In tribute to this founding figure, the original Kinshodo brand "Lin" was born. Known for its metallic sheen that defies the expectations of porcelain, distinctive textures, and dreamlike colors, Lin captures a world beyond the ordinary.
The concept behind Lin is the extraordinary.

The Radiance of Lin — Born from Serendipity
Developed in 2016 as part of the 400th anniversary of Arita ware, Lin has since grown into one of Kinshodo’s flagship brands. At the time, the challenge was to create an Arita porcelain that would resonate on a global stage. By chance, a television segment about the growing popularity of colorful Nambu tekki (cast ironware) in Paris sparked inspiration. This led to the idea: what if Arita ware, also a traditional craft, could be reimagined with a metallic-like texture and vivid colors that appeal to international tastes?
Bringing Radiance into Everyday Life
Adorned with a luxurious shimmer, Lin embodies refined elegance born from masterful craftsmanship. This innovative Arita ware brand is known for its metallic-like texture and luminous colors that shift with the angle of light.
A longing for beauty is transformed into a daily experience of brilliance — inviting you to bring timeless radiance into your everyday moments.
