Japan is a country with a developed ceramic culture and has made outstanding achievements in both technology and art. Find anyone who has been to Japan, the Japanese people pay special attention to the role of ceramic artifacts in the daily life, not simply for the purpose of practical, but also enriched the cultural life of people, to the family or public environment create a kind of artistic atmosphere, make the person feels warm and full of the milk of human kindness, give life fun, give a person with beautiful enjoyment. These reflect the Japanese aesthetic taste and cultural accomplishment, but also show the author's creative spirit.

In the past, when we looked at Japanese ceramic art, we often only saw what aspects we learned from China, but seldom looked further at how Japan learned from China, how it absorbed, how it utilized and transformed, and developed into a ceramic art with Japanese national characteristics. If you think about it further, that is how we learn from Japan today this spirit of absorbing foreign culture. I think it is the most precious and important. With this kind of spirit, one will earnestly learn from others, and one will not stagnate or become tied to others, and one will not simply follow and copy them. The ultimate purpose of this learning spirit is to create.

Aritayaki’s charm lies in its lightness and thinness. Its texture is as smooth as glass, but the material itself is very hard. Durable but not absorbable, it is perfect as a kitchen appliance. This kind of porcelain can also be used in everyday life, because it is transparent, so the blue, red, yellow and gold are highlighted. Although foreigners are very fond of bright colors, the use of monochromatic fired Aritayaki is also charming. When you hold it in your hand, you can feel its unique texture.

“Guinomi” pottery is made in Guinomi city, Aichi-ken. Its history is said to date back 1,000 years. In the beginning, "regular smooth firing" uses no glaze at all, and its technique is called "natural glaze" firing method. The main products are pottery POTS. Later, it became famous for firing clay pipes (such as drainage pipes and chimneys).It is also known for its use of "Zhu Ni" (reddish-brown clay) to make pottery. In 1976, "Chang slippery burning" pottery was designated as the national traditional handicraft.

It has a certain thickness, and if you look closely you can see the shape of the sand in the clay. The charm of Masuko lies in its simplicity.

"Masuko" refers to the pottery produced around the town of Masuko, Tochigi Prefecture. Pottery making is said to have been practiced in the area since ancient times, but what is now called "Masuko yaki" pottery began in the 19th century, towards the end of the Edo period.

To the southeast of Masuko, there is another city known for its pottery production, called Kasama. Keizaburo Otsuka, who was born in this city and practiced the practice of Bonin burning, discovered that there was a place in Masuko called Ozawa with very high quality clay. Therefore, he began to make pottery while doing farm work. When Otsuka began making pottery in 1853, it is credited with the origin of Masuko Yaki. In this way, it can be said that the Kasa and Masuko are like relatives.
