Scope note
Refers to the style of ceramics produced at sites in or near present-day Nogata and Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture, from 1601 to almost the end of the Edo period (1600-1868). The style is characterized by the production of everyday utensils and tea ceremony ware. Early wares are characterized by thick-walled everyday ware with sea slug glazes or opaque white-straw or wood-ash glazes. During the Enshu period (1630-1665), productions focused on elegant, thin-walled tea ceremony ware with a characteristic toffee-brown glaze.
