| Description of works | 【One of the rokkoyo, the Tamba Kilns inherited the Tokoname pottery-making techniques】 The Tamba Kilns are one of the rokkoyo (Japan’s six ancient kilns founded in the Kamakura period that are still active today). The pottery-making techniques of the Sanage Kilns were passed on to the Tokoname Kilns, and then spread widely across the country. The Tamba Kilns in Tambasasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture, are one such kiln that received the Tokoname techniques around the end of the 12th century CE. Initially, the Tamba Kilns produced works similar to the Tokoname Kilns, but they gradually developed their own styles in the 14th century and afterwards. Many Tamba tsubo (narrow-necked jars) have a brown base covered with natural glaze, which occurs when the wood ash inside the kiln accumulates on the surface and melts, creating beautifully contrasting browns and greens, as seen in this jar. |
