Kinzan pottery 錦山焼

This earthenware is from Shimata Village in Nogi County in Izumo Province (present-day Shimata, Yasugi, Shimane). It was founded in 1858 by Adachi Soemon (commonly known as Aburaya Soemon), who was a purveyor to the Matsudaira Domain. It was named Kinzan Ware after Nishikigaura in the region and mainly produced everyday bowls in the beginning. Since then, the Nakajima family of potters introduced glazes and techniques, and the kiln currently produces tea sets, flower vases, and other items with Shinsha-yu, Gosu-yu, Seiji-yu, and Ame-yu glazes as local traditional goods. yasugi-kankou.com錦山焼窯元 | 安来観光ガイド　-安来市観光協会が安来周辺の観光をお手伝いします-■View Ceramic Works■
