Tsubakigama

"This kiln first opened in 1969. The name is based on the Japanese camellia, Tsubaki no Hana, which has long been admired in Japan. Yunotsu on the Sea of Japan has long been home to many climbing kilns, and was once a prosperous producer of water jugs called ""hando."" Now, the father and son Arao family make items glazed with a camellia pattern that has been considered lucky as auspicious omens motif since the Heian period. Their work is marked by their five colors of overglazing, which include light blue, indigo, and three traditional colors going back generations: celadon (white), cinnabar (red), and gosu (green)."
