Miura Kenya was the last of the Edo (Tokyo) line of artists following Ogata Kenzan. He made Kenzan-style pottery, but also explored Western technologies, building Japan's first ironclad ship and opening factories that produced Western brick, glass and ceramic insulators. One of his disciples was Bernard Leach's teacher.
