Imado pottery 今戸焼

This is a general term for terracotta ceramics fired in Imado, Hashiba, and its surroundings in Edo (northeast Asakusa). Everyday bowls, tea-things, clay figurines, braziers, flowering pots, tiles, and other items were produced. Shirai Hanshichi was a famous potter from this kiln. Sumidagawa ware, which was favored by the cultured and tea ceremony masters, was located nearby. www.city.taito.lg.jp今戸焼作り　台東区ホームページ ■View Ceramic Works■ Tags: imado pottery, sumida pottery
