Yakimono 焼物　Daruma in and on pottery


　達磨さんの焼物散歩 　 - The Basics

Japanese Pottery!
The oldest pottery in the world and in the long history of its development there are so many styles and areas involved, it is easy to loose track.
Talking about Japanese Pottery and Daruma san, I make the distinction between Daruma as a decorative figure or statue (okimono 置物), Daruma painted on a piece of pottery for use, for example a teacup, a soy sauce poorer or an oil dish. In this field we find Daruma almost everywhere! I will cover that in the separate stories.
And finally pottery items for use in the form of Daruma, for example incense burners, toothpick holders and the like. This also calls for different stories. Many pottery centers have some special type of Daruma objects, so I will cover the Pottery of Arita, Bizen, Kutani, Oribe etc. in extra stories.

There might be more in time.

This kind of pottery has a history of more than 200 years. Now there are six kilns that produce it.
平清水焼き Japanese Reference


Hirashimizu, to the south of Yamagata city is a renowned pottery producing area. It is said that at its peak there were some 20 producers in the area. This number has now dwindled to six which are enjoying the recent boom in ceramics. The peach Celadon style whereby the iron particles protrude through the celadon glaze giving the pottery a peach-skin effect is particularly well known. Pottery lessons and tours of the buildings where the potters sit at their wheels can be arranged by the Shichiemon, Bun'emon and Heikichi potters.
