And, he became a new Daimyo of Bizen. Hosokawa clan invited a group of Korean potters led by Son-Kai to make potteries.\u3000Hosokawa Tadaoki learned Sado(Tea ceremony) directly from Sen-no-Rikyu, one of the most famous tea master. He was also known to be very particular about Sado. So the Agano-Yaki were refined to satisfy Tadaoki&#8217;s eye. Furthermore, Agano-Yaki was selected as one of Enshu 7 kilns, where Kobori Enshu(\u5c0f\u5800\u9060\u5dde), the noble Japanese Sado artist picked his seven favorite kilns.<\/p>\n<p>Agano Yaki reflects on the concept called &#8220;Wabi Sabi&#8221; meaning simplicity and silence. What makes this pottery so outstanding is the green colored glaze made from copper. There are various kinds of designs and techniques to create Agano-Yaki. Vortex pattern called &#8220;Hidari-Tomoe&#8221; is engraved on its base. It is believed that this pattern was caused naturally when a potter carved the foot that supports the body of his pottery, but eventually, the pattern became the signature of Agano-Yaki potters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Place of production: Fukuchi town, Fukuoka Prefecture The story: After the battle of Sekigahara, Edo Shogunate forced Daimyo Hosokawa Tadaoki to be relocated to a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3406","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3406"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3406\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3819,"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3406\/revisions\/3819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
