The Moriyama Pottery Factory was located in Mori-Machi in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. It was established in 1911 by Hidekichi Nakamura, who learned the art of pottery making from Seison Suzuki. Today, four studios continue the Moriyama tradition in and around Morimachi: Seison, Seizon, Nakamura, and Tame. This plate dates back to approximately 1926-1929.
