Utsugawayaki Toyoto Genkawa-yaki pottery kiln ruins

One of the Genkawa-yaki pottery kilns that continued to be used for about 4 years from the 1691th year of Genroku (1748) to the first year of Kan'en (60)

According to the records of the Isahaya family's Nisshinki, it is written that in 1691, Gyobuzaemon Tanaka, an official of the Isahaya family, retired from his duties and opened a kiln with his second son, Jinnai. This is one of the inherited Genkawa-yaki pottery kilns.

The products are pottery made of clay with a high iron content and made using the brush-grain technique, and the various decorative brush-grains and bold vessel shapes such as boat shapes and corner cuts, and the matching designs depicting the four seasons, are reminiscent of the ``Western West.'' It has been praised as ``Ninsei'' and ``the pinnacle of Hakeme pattern.'' Above the kiln, there is a Kannon kiln built in 1704, and it is also unique in that it is engraved with inscriptions related to the founders of Genkawayaki, Tanaka Muneyoshi, Dojinnai, Shigetomi Mobei, and others.
