Fukagawa Seiji (Fukagawa Porcelain Company) was founded by Chuji Fukagawa (1871-1934), the second oldest son of the founder of Koransha (Scented Orchid Company), Ezaiemon Fukagawa (1833-1889).

The Fukagawa Porcelain Company was prized for its exported porcelain wares at world fairs in Europe and North America. The company adopted the image of Mount Fuji as their mark, which is found on the undersides of the present pair of vases.
