Amorigawa Yaki is a kiln from the Satsuma Area (Kagoshima) on the southern Island of Kyushu. This is an obscure kiln settled in the area of Kirishima on the border with Miyazaki Prefecture. The area is volcanic and has onsen hot spring resorts.
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 DO NOT ANSWER QUERIES ON PERSONAL PIECES. I DO NOT GIVE VALUATIONS. General comments and questions will still be accepted.
