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.
Modern Takeo Yaki is usually grouped with Karatsu style but since it is also bordering Arita may have influence from there as well.

This kiln produces ware mostly for Inns in Hot Spring areas like Beppu. The most typical motif is that of “oni” translated as ogre or monster.
