- Abstract
This paper focuses on the interactions of potters and the exchanging of technological knowledge between two of the most important ceramic production sites: Kutani ware of Ishikawa Prefecture and Kyoto ware. Japanese ceramics are often classified by the site of production and are discussed as if both their technological and artistic developments had fruited independently. However, through this research it was revealed that there was a considerable amount of human interactions between the two sites. In the late Edo to early Meiji period, Kyoto potters were invited by the lord of the Kaga clan and developed the foundations of modern Kutani ware. In the Meiji period, on the other hand, dozens if not hundreds of Kutani potters moved to Kyoto and joined ceramic factories. Among them were leading ceramic artists such as Suwa Sozan I (1851- 1922) and Miyanaga Tozan I (1868-1941) who played vital roles in the modernization of Kyoto ware in the early twentieth century. By comparing historical records, this paper will demonstrate the interdependency of the two major ceramic production sites.
