This type of ware is highly influenced by the Mingei Movement. The clay tends to be reddish and the glazes can be yellow, cream, brown and some blues. Leach style slip ware is common as is the influence of Mashiko potters like Hamada Shōji. There is some influence of the Koishiwara/Onta style of tobigana chattering in some. As with many Mingei potters the wares of the Yūmachi kiln go unmarked.
You are invited to come along with me as I learn about Japanese ceramics. I will share what I learn about the kilns, history, terminology, potters, decorators, styles, and marks. This is a work in progress. ** NOTICE: I NO LONGER ANSWER QUERIES ON PERSONAL PIECES. I DO NOT GIVE VALUATIONS.
