Karasaki pottery 唐崎焼

This type of earthenware was fired in Karasaki in Shiga Village in Emi Province (present-day Karasaki, Otsu, Shiga) around the Kyoho era (1716 – 1735). Although there are no details on the producer, it is said to be earthenware based on the Eight Views of Omi.

There are many pieces that have a white Haku-yu glaze with a slight blue tint with ferrous paintings of pine cones and old pine trees. Aka-raku works that imitate Raku Ryonyu and Sanyu have also been confirmed.
