Fukuoka and ceramics

Was there a porcelain kiln in Fukuoka in ancient times?

Fukuoka Prefecture in ancient times really had a deep relationship with porcelain, and there should be porcelain kilns. The evidence is as follows:

1. A greenish-yellow glazed brown-green pot was unearthed at Duoliang Datian Site in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. At first glance, it may be thought that it is the work of China Tongguan Kiln, but it is actually an authentic Japanese product, which is made by imitating the technological transformation of Tongguan Kiln. Changsha Kiln, also called Tongguan Kiln in Tang Dynasty, is a folk ceramic kiln located in Tongguan Town of Wangcheng County to Shizhu Lake.

2. According to historical records, during the Chongzhen period in the late Ming Dynasty (1628 ~ 1644), blue and white porcelain made by Wu Xiangrui, a doctor of Wu Liang, appeared in Jingdezhen folk kiln exported to Japan. They are well-made, not inferior to official kilns, and are called "auspicious" or "auspicious hands" by Japan. At that time, Japanese blue-and-white porcelain imported from China was classified into three categories: Auspicious, Dyed and Paid, and Wu Xu, among which Auspicious was the top grade, which got high evaluation and status. At present, it is conclusively believed that Xiangrui Porcelain was ordered in Japan and made in Jingdezhen, China during the Chongzhen period in the late Ming Dynasty (Kuanyong period in Japan). Its high-quality raw materials, fine style and Japanese artistic conception are all ordered by Japan. All finished products are exported to Japan.

However, the Japanese also have their own traditional sayings, which have formed various descriptions for a long time: Takeo Takeo's surname is Ito (also written as ITO), commonly known as Takeo Takeo, and it is said that Takeo Takeo, a Taifu, built a kiln to burn porcelain near kurume (now the south of Fukuoka Prefecture) after returning from China.

It can be inferred from this large amount of historical materials that Fukuoka was the place where ancient Japan produced and sold porcelain.

3. Ryaki Yabe, a Japanese scholar, described China's three-color Tang Dynasty unearthed in Japan as follows: "The three-color Tang Dynasty was found in six places in China, three in Fukuoka Prefecture and three in Nara Basin in Nara Prefecture." This is also a very favorable proof.

Does Erfu Kuoka have porcelain clay?

Fukuoka in Kyushu, Japan was called Hakata in ancient times. Its traditional art "Hakata humanoid" (porcelain man) has a long history and is one of the representative arts in Japan.

In the mountainous areas around Fukuoka, there are abundant high-quality primary clay suitable for firing human figures, which provides a godsend opportunity for the world-famous "Hakata Human Figure". According to the excavation of local tombs, as early as14th century, "Bodosu burned people" began. /kloc-At the beginning of the 0/7th century, the dolls made by the first generation of instruments were exquisite and beautiful, which attracted wide attention and Hakata figures became popular. /kloc-In the 9th century, Jibing Wei Yan, the son of another famous Hakata artist, burned a toy doll called "Burning the Earth", which was simple and lovely. Later generations learned from the advantages of the humanoid firing method of Zong Qi and Zhong Zi Ji, kept the essence of traditional crafts, improved raw materials and invented new technologies, which made Bodosu's humanoid firing have a strong local flavor and national style.

1890 In April, at the second national industrial exposition held in Osaka, Hakata Shouxi Mountain won the prize. The award omitted "tired burning" and chose "Boduo Shouxi Mountain". From then on, the name "Hakata burning humanoid" was officially replaced by "Hakata humanoid".

1Feb. 976, Hakata was designated as a "traditional handicraft" by the Minister of International Trade and Industry of Japan. 1978 10 month,

Pauli Mao, Speaker of the Japanese House of Representatives, presented Deng Xiaoping with a 49-cm-high Hakata dance fan.

Therefore, Fukuoka Prefecture has a relatively complete history and technology of porcelain burning since ancient times.
