In 1932, Sutematsu Kumamoto founded Mankoshinko Kiln Works with a focus on quality manufacturing. They produced tableware, earthenware pots, and vases. The company later changed its name to Gimpo (G.M.P.), symbolizing its desire for longevity. Tetsuzo Kumamoto, the second generation, introduced the Mishima technique and developed the wide­ly circulated “Hana-Mishima” line of earthenware pots. The company, a leading earthenware pot manufacturer with an 80% domestic market share, created PETARI based on a popular earthenware plate motif in Yokkaichi, aiming for daily dining use. PETARI offers flat pots that seamlessly transition between the kitchen and dining table, making cooking easy, enjoyable, and delicious. With a rich history of craftsmanship, the brand provides a fresh perspective on connecting the kitchen and dining experience.
