Konbanwa!Today, I am going to talk about "Japanese ceramic".This is the fact that Japans prehistoric periods such as the Jomon or Yayoi period, are referred to by the name of the earthenware of the time as it can be seen that Japan has such a tradition of making ceramics.
In the fifth and sixth centuries, Japanese artistic ceramics ware was hugely influenced by the introduction of techniques from China and Korea and by visits of skilled craftsmen from those countries. After this period of foreign influence had ended up, the art began to follow its own unique path of development and popularization.
While ceramic ware is referred to as "china" in English, it is referred to as setomono in Japan. This is because the area around Seto city in Aichi prefecture is famous for this ceramic ware. This region has been making fine ceramic ware since the thirteenth century at the Kamakura era.Then, it came to the Muromachi era, dishes, basins and bowls had become popular products its Northern area, Mino city.Other representative artistic pottery of the present day is shown such as Kyoyaki, Rakuyaki, Shinoyaki, Satsumayaki and Oribeyaki. Actually, my hometown "Tokamachi" is a place where one of the oldest earthenware has recently been found.
Typical porcelain include Aritayaki, Kiyomizuyaki and Kutaniyaki.There is plentiful supply of the right materials, and highly skilled ceramists at the traditional kilns in each district create countless beautiful pieces.The photo above shows that one of our local ceramists "Setsuzan Hosaka" made.It is an excellent and beautiful work.
