Awataguchi ˆΎ“cŒϋ kiln. Also called awatayaki ˆΎ“cΔ. A ceramic ware that was made in Awataguchi, at the foot of Higashiyama “ŒŽR in Kyoto. The Awataguchi kiln probably was started in the Keichou Œc’· era (1596-1615). At first, Awataguchi wares were copies of Chinese-type tea jars *karamono “‚•¨ *chaire ’ƒ“ό, and of koseto ŒΓ£ŒΛ (old seto, see *setoyaki £ŒΛΔ) and Korean Koguryo teabowls. Then the kiln made many imitations of Ninsei m΄ style teawares and tablewares in polychrome overglaze, *iroe FŠG touki “©Šν, and ko-kiyomizu ŒΓ΄… styles. At that time, awataguchiyaki was central to early Kyoto ceramics *kyouyaki ‹žΔ. Some old wares have 'awataguchi' or ''awata' seals. Such distinguished potters as Iwakurayama Šβ‘qŽR, Kinkouzan ‹ΡŒυŽR, Taizan ‘ΡŽR, Tanzan ’OŽR, and Houzan •σŽR worked at the kiln. In the second half of Edo period, the Awataguchi kiln made good multi-colored pottery in competition with the iroe jiki FŠGŽ₯Šν (multi-colored porcelain) of the Kiyomizu ΄… area. From Meiji period, Awataguchi ware was known popularly as kyou-satsuma ‹žŽF–€ (Kyoto-style Satsuma ware).
