A former village area in the southeastern part of Toho Village, Fukuoka Prefecture. In 2005, it merged with Koishiwara Village to form Toho Village. There is a Hoju-yaki kiln in the coal mine ruins.
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.
