Kiyomizu-yaki introduction

" Kyo-yaki " is a style of tea ceremony that originated in the early Edo period.

Kyoto pottery has primarily spread from the foothills of Higashiyama. On the other hand, " Kiyomizu-yaki " refers to pottery made at the entrance to Kiyomizu-dera Temple on Gojo-zaka. Currently, all pottery made in Kyoto is called " Kyo-yaki / Kiyomizu-yaki ".

This type of glaze, known as crystalline glaze, is characterized by the precipitation of crystals during the melting and cooling process. Beautiful flower-shaped crystalline vessels appear as if flowers have bloomed on their surface. Most importantly, the crystals grew larger and took on various shapes. Furthermore, no two designs can be made the same; each piece is a unique work of art.
