    Journey. One thousand years. The Six Ancient Kilns the intersection of fire and humanity, soil and humanity, water and humanity – First Issue: “Getting to know The Six Ancient Kilns” “Learning about The Six Ancient Kilns” Journey. One thousand years. The Six Ancient Kilns the intersection of fire and humanity, soil and humanity, water and humanity The relationship between the Japanese and pottery dates back to the Jomon period (the earliest historical era of Japanese history coinciding with the Neolithic Period, from around 14500 BCE to around 300 BCE), when pottery was used for necessities such as preserving food, cooking, and rituals. Pottery not only helped build a civilization, it also exceeded conventional uses to enrich the culture of Japan in many ways. Of all the ancient pottery sites of Japan, the “Six Ancient Kilns”(pronounced nihon rokkoyo in Japanese) refers collectively to the six representative production areas of Echizen, Seto, Tokoname, Shigaraki, Tamba, and Bizen, whose pottery production has continued from the medieval period (1185- 1603) to the present day. The term “Six Ancient Kiln” was coined by renowned ceramics scholar, Koyama Fujio around 1948 and the sites were certified as each of the six areas has cultivated over the official Japanese Heritage sites in spring last 1000 years, and to inspire a vision of the 2017. future 1000 years from today based on these findings. To mark this occasion, the six cities created a Japanese Heritage Promotion Council * The 6 Pottery Production Areas whose objective was to revisit the technology Echizen ware: Echizen, Fukui and cultures that were born in each of these Seto ware: Seto, Aichi production areas over the last thousand Tokoname ware: Tokoname, Aichi years, and create an opportunity to delve into Shigaraki ware: Koka,Shiga the wonders of the Six Ancient Kilns from a Tamba ware: Tamba Sasayama, Hyogo newfound perspective.

  • Wood-Fired Utilitarian Ware for Serving Japanese and American Food
    Abstract Wood-Firing in America: Wood-Fired Utilitarian Ware for Serving Japanese and American Food by Yu Ishimaru July 2011 Director of Thesis: Jim Tisnado School of Art and Design In this body of work, my focus is on the surface and color of wood-fired ergonomic utilitarian ware. The natural-ash glazed surface and soft color changes from the atmospheric nature of wood firing are the principle aim of my firing. I intend for my wood fired work to be used on the table, in the kitchen, and around the home in both the United States and Japan on a daily basis. Food cultures between the United States and Japan are very different, and the ware used in both cultures is not the same, but similar. By approaching both food cultures from the similarities, I can be aware of the needs in the ware to be used in both food cultures. The surface and subtle color variation in my wood-fired work accompany the colors of both Japanese and American food presented at the table. Wood-fired work can be suitable for serving cross-cultural foods.

In this collection of contemporary Japanese kōgei arts (a class of artistic creations produced in close association with the needs and conditions of everyday life), Onishi Gallery demonstrates the vast cosmos and intimate nature that may be communicated through a delicate work of art. While European arts often express the wonders of the universe through dynamic artistry, Japanese kōgei artists use subtle techniques to represent the cosmos within—imagine the world that unfolds when one looks through the small lens of a kaleidoscope. Bringing numerous leading metalwork and ceramic artists from the Japanese contemporary art scene, Onishi Gallery works with both renowned and emerging talents to introduce their work to American audiences, connect them with museum collections, and enable American arts and cultural institutions to discover and partner with these international talents.

They support the ceramic arts through many avenues: an artist residen- cy program, gallery, studio space, education, and outreach program. After 28 years, they moved into a new state-of-the-art facility in 2003. It’s spacious and serves as the perfect environment to inspire. In their new facility, they selected Bailey Kilns to meet the rigorous firing demands of their active program that serves 500 students per term. Their kiln room houses two Bailey 2-Car Trackless PRO 54 cu.ft. kilns. Each kiln has been fired over 1200 times! The 2-Car track- less design gives their program great flexibility in their firing requirements. Because they chose the 2-car design, they are firing one load while the next is being prepared on the mobile trackless car. As soon as the fired load is cool, out it comes and in goes the next load. Seamless efficiency. Beyond stacking and cycling efficiency, there is the maximum fuel efficiency. Lillstreet appreciates all the savings in fuel.

  • The Socio-Political Dimensions of Warlord Tea Praxis in Early Modern Japan, 1573-1860

Rath Date approved: October 21, 2015 ii Abstract This dissertation examines the practice of chanoyu (a performative art form featuring the formalized preparation of tea) by the regional warlords who took up the art in great numbers in Japan from the late sixteenth century forward. Spanning the period from 1573 until 1860, the case studies of seven warlord tea masters, as well as many ancillary figures, demonstrate the manner in which warlord tea praxis first developed in Japan and provide insight into why the art was embraced so widely by the military elite. Tracing this development through four chronological stages, this dissertation challenges the

  • An Overview of the Evolution of Japanese Ceramics (For the Southeast Asian Ceramic Society)
    An Overview of the Evolution of Japanese Ceramics (For the Southeast Asian Ceramic Society) Christopher P. Wells, SEACS Lifetime Member January 27, 2021 Hokusai, Potters at Work, Imado (1805) Early Japanese Ceramics (15,000 BCE to 600 CE) Incipient/Early Jomon Period (15-13,000 BCE) • Jomon pottery dates from as early as 15,000 BCE. • There is speculation that Jomon pottery was produced by the Caucasian ancestors of the Ainu people (now on living reservations in Hokkaido) who originally inhabited most of Japan until gradually pushed North. • “Jo-mon” means “cord pattern” because most pottery from this time has designs impressed by strings. • Incipient Jomon pottery vessels have pointed bottoms and flaring lips • Some vessels are highly polished covered with iron oxide or lacquers. • Vessels were produced without potter’s wheel and firing took place at temperatures between 400-500 Centigrade in open (pit) kilns. • Ceramics of the Jomon pottery were remarkably strong and are outstanding productions of human Neolithic Age and the oldest scientific evidence of a pot for cooking is of Jomon origin. Middle Jomon Period Ceramics (3,000 to 700 BCE) • Vessels from this period were lower and wider and designed for utilitarian purposes • There are many thousands of examples and tens of thousands of fragments from this and Late Jomon periods • So-called “Fire Pots” (1500-500BCE) below are characteristic of the period appeal to modern abstract curators and artists. • Simple “dogu” figures (heads, torsos etc.) are also from this period such as the
