Features of Tamba-Tachikui Pottery History: With a tradition dating back to the Kamakura period, it has produced many everyday utensils and tea ceremony items, especially since the Edo period. Style: It is characterized by "natural glaze," formed by the ash of firewood adhering to the pottery during high-temperature firing without applying glaze, and a unique "ash-covered" appearance. The simple taste of the pottery, made using "Akadobe," a clay containing iron, is also attractive.
