Hagiyama Ware
Hagiyama ware (萩山焼) refers to a type of Japanese pottery that was originally produced in Nagoya, central Japan. A dedicated Raku ware kiln was built in a garden on the north side of Nagoya Castle. The kiln is thought to have opened after the retirement of the 10th lord of the domain, Tokugawa Naritomo, in 1827. The 12th lord, Tokugawa Naritaka (1810–1845), actively operated the kiln and had it produce tea utensils. Since he also invited Hōraku ware and Sasashima ware potters, there are many similarities in the types of vessels, clay and glaze. Another pottery that was produced under the reign of the 12th lord was Kinjō Higashiyama ware.

Hōraku Ware
Hōraku ware (豊楽焼) is a type of Japanese pottery historically from Nagoya, Owari Province, central Japan. The first character 豊, which means "abundant", can be compounded and pronounced as "Hō" or "Toyo", therefore it is also known as ''Toyoraku'' ware. History Production started in the later Edo period when it was founded by Rikei Katō (1708–1796), a ceramist who lived in the Owari domain. His successor, Toyohachi (?-1801), continued the style under that name. Some source state he worked in the central Ōsu area of Nagoya, south of the temple Banshō-ji, however that conflicts with the family memoir which states that he lived in Fujimigahara, and that the third generation moved in 1753 from Fujimigahara to central Nagoya, which is also confirmed by a reference in the ''sen-cha'' text called "''Sencha Soshinan''", published in 1779. Toyoraku's third generation Daiki Toyosuke (大喜豊助 1779~1864) took up the family name Daiki, which was to remain. He served as ...

Culture In Nagoya
Culture () is an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior, institutions, and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, and habits of the individuals in these groups.Tylor, Edward. (1871). Primitive Culture. Vol 1. New York: J.P. Putnam's Son Culture is often originated from or attributed to a specific region or location. Humans acquire culture through the learning processes of enculturation and socialization, which is shown by the diversity of cultures across societies. A cultural norm codifies acceptable conduct in society; it serves as a guideline for behavior, dress, language, and demeanor in a situation, which serves as a template for expectations in a social group. Accepting only a monoculture in a social group can bear risks, just as a single species can wither in the face of environmental change, for lack of functional responses to the change. Thus in military culture, valor is counted a typica ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Inuyama Ware
refers to a type of Japanese pottery, stoneware, and ceramics produced in and around the municipality of Inuyama, Owari Province, in central Japan. History The term refers to two kilns that produced in this area. The earlier one was located in the village of Imai (今井村) in Niwa District, which was about 4 km southeast of Inuyama Castle. The second one was the Maruyama kiln (丸山窯) at Inuyama castle, which produced the only type of ware in Owari province that was decorated primarily in different colours.

Tokoname Ware
is a type of Japanese pottery, stoneware, and ceramics produced in and around the municipality of Tokoname, Aichi, in central Japan. Tokoname was the location of one of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan. History Pottery made in Tokoname dates back to the 12th century. During the Heian period, what is now called Tokoname ware was already part of daily life. A kiln known as the Takasaka kiln was built in the 14th century. Towards the end of the Edo period in the late 19th century, Koie Hokyu completed a chambered "climbing kiln" (''nobori-gama''). The excellent reputation of modern Tokoname ware was established by his son Koie Hoju. He laid the foundations for earthenware pipe making and introduced the redware for which the town became renowned. A statue was later put up in his honour in the town. The construction of the Meitetsu Tokoname Line in the Meiji era encouraged production and provided transportation for the increasing tile production during the Taishō era. The tradit ...

Kawana Ware
refers to a type of Japanese porcelain produced in and around the area of Kawana (川名), today Kawanayama-chō (川名山町) in Shōwa-ku, Nagoya, central Japan. It is of the ''sometsuke'' (染付) blue and white pottery type, but notable for using the English technique of transfer printing. History In Japan, transfer printing by copperplate was attempted at the end of the Edo period. This technique was used in Mino's Risen ware (里泉焼) from Mizunami, Gifu and Owari's Kawana ware from Nagoya. In the Buddhist temple Kōjaku-in (香積院) compound in Kawana village, a kiln was opened in the middle of the Kaei era (1848–54) by Kato Shinshichi (加藤新七), who was a disciple of the third generation Kawamoto Jihyoe (三代川本治兵) from Seto. Regular ''sometsuke'' ware was initially produced, however craftsmen from Seto protested against it. In reaction Kato Shinshichi tried a new direction by producing items with copper plate transfer printing. In Europe the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kinjō Higashiyama Ware
Kinjō Higashiyama ware (金城東山焼) refers to a type of Japanese pottery that was originally produced in Nagoya, central Japan. It was originally called just Higashiyama ware (東山焼) but in order to avoid confusion with other pottery of the same name and ''kanji'' spelling the name ''Kinjō'' ("Golden Castle", another name for Nagoya Castle) is added before. The climbing kiln was built for the 12th lord of the Owari Domain, Tokugawa Naritaka (1810–1845), who had a keen interest in pottery, at his lower residence Aoi Oshitayashiki (葵 御下屋敷) in Higashi-ku, Nagoya. It was a type of ''oniwa-yaki'' (御庭焼 literally "garden ware"). The opening of the kiln is thought to have been around 1843, the year of Naritaka's long stay in Nagoya. It is said that Katō Tosaburō (加藤唐三郎), an Akazu ware potter, was involved in the construction of the kiln, but there are very few artefacts that have been handed down to the present, and many things remain unknown.

Japanese Pottery
, is one of the oldest Japanese crafts and art forms, dating back to the Neolithic period. Kilns have produced earthenware, pottery, stoneware, glazed pottery, glazed stoneware, porcelain, and blue-and-white ware. Japan has an exceptionally long and successful history of ceramic production. Earthenwares were made as early as the Jōmon period (10,500–300BC), giving Japan one of the oldest ceramic traditions in the world. Japan is further distinguished by the unusual esteem that ceramics holds within its artistic tradition, owing to the enduring popularity of the tea ceremony. Japanese ceramic history records distinguished many potter names, and some were artist-potters, e.g. Hon'ami Kōetsu, Ogata Kenzan, and Aoki Mokubei.Henry Trubner 1972, p. 18. Japanese anagama kilns also have flourished through the ages, and their influence weighs with that of the potters. Another characteristically Japanese aspect of the art is the continuing popularity of unglazed high-fired ston ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
