List of Japanese ceramics sites
The list of Japanese ceramics sites (
The list contains kilns of the post-Heian period. Not listed are ancient earthenware pottery such as Jōmon pottery, Yayoi pottery, Haji pottery, Sue pottery, Kamui ware, etc. which are general topics whose origins and production cannot be linked to just one specific kiln. Shimamono are objects that were imported from southeast Asia, but later produced locally as well. Mishima pottery despite its name is of Korean origin.
Some of the existing kilns and the main ceramic wares have been designated by the government Agency for Cultural Affairs as an Intangible Cultural Property as regulated by the Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties (1950). In addition the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has designated others as "traditional handicraft workshops". The criteria set by the ministry to be recognised as a "traditional craft" (
- It is primarily a craft for everyday life usage
- The manufacturing process has to be largely done manually
- Has a history of over 100 years, with production continuing to use traditional technologies and techniques
- The type of main raw material has remained the same for over 100 years.
- Artisans producing the craft have to have a certain degree of scale to be counted as a regional industry
Amongst the list are also the so-called Enshū's Seven Kilns (
The listing follows a geographical arrangement from north to southern Japan. It is divided by regions, then prefectures, then within the prefectures in alphabetical order. Those designated by the government are in bold letters, those listed under Enshū are marked with a 7 and those by Koyama with a 6 sign in brackets.
