Motoyashiki Pottery Kiln Site, Archaeological pottery kiln site in Toki, Japan.
The Motoyashiki Pottery Kiln Site contains four ancient kilns, including a large noborigama structure measuring 24 meters with 14 separate firing chambers.
During the Keichō era from 1596 to 1615, master potter Katō Junpei constructed the main kiln after learning techniques at the Karatsu ware kilns in Kyushu.
The excavated pottery fragments from this location demonstrate the origins of Oribe ware, characterized by its copper-green glaze and geometric patterns.
Visitors can explore the preserved kilns and examine archaeological artifacts in the exhibition room at Oribe-no-sato Park, located near Tokishi Station.
The main kiln structure features chambers positioned at angles between 10 and 20 degrees on a hillside, optimizing the firing process for different pottery types.
