Catalogue note:
Fujina-yaki and Rakuzan-yaki are collectively known as Izumo-yaki. It is said that the Fujina-yaki process was developed in Fujina, by the head of the Funaki family, and his three sons, around 1750. The Funaki family ran a ‘common kiln’, making quality everyday wares not simply for noble use. With the three brothers each working independently as well, it is said that at their height the family operated nine separate kilns. Moreover, following the closure of the Rakuzan kiln at the fourth generation, in 1777 Tsuchiya Zenshiro Yoshikata, an official Rakuzan-yaki potter, was ordered by the daimyo to relocate to the Fujina area, to open a kiln for the production of official wares.
In this way, Fujina-yaki developed as the result of ‘official’ and ‘common’ kilns producing wares together. The pottery created is characterized by its particular yellow glaze, and a variety of styles, which resemble ceramic wares produced in southern China and Vietnam, as well as those by potters of the Kyoto-style Kyo-yaki, such as Nonomura Ninsei and Ogata Kanzan; while still others resemble Imari or Seto style wares. In the Meiji era (1868-1912), some decorative works were produced for export and the kilns flourished, but many were closed in the subsequent Taisho period (1912-1926). Today there are two kilns, Funaki and Tsuchiya, which continue the tradition.
