Nomi

Nomi lies in southern Kaga, a district of plains and foothills near the Sea of Japan. At Komatsu, the Kaga lord Maeda Toshitsune retired and rebuilt the castle as his residence. The region also became associated with Kutani porcelain, noted for bold designs and richly colored overglaze decoration. After the early kilns closed, pottery was revived in the nineteenth century, including the Wakasugi kiln near Komatsu.
