AWATA WARE

Is the representative ware of Kyoto
and the first to assume truly japanese
distinctions. Typical Awatayaki is
thus described: A faience having a
pate of medium closeness and of brown
ish tint; semitranslucid glaze of some
what cold grayish color; and profu-
sion of enameled decoration. in which
clear, brilliant green and opaque blue,
often verging on lilac, are the domi-
nant colors, the whole being enriched
with gold and more rarely with silver.
Good specimens of the ware present
features easily recognized. Hardness
and closeness of pate, softness and
sheen of glaze, regularity of crackle
and brilliancy of enamels - these are
points which any amateur can Judge.
Diapers were the decorative staple.
Sometimes they were used alone and
sometimes broken by medallions enclos-

Honolulu is unique in its opportunl-
ties to secure genuine curios. carvings
and keramics Of Japan. Owing to its
great and varied japanese population, a
high standard is necessarily set in the
wares disposed of as japanese, as spu-
rious or imitation porcelain and other
wares would be easily detected by the
japanese themselves.
The japanese keramists have learned
and fully appreciate the mad desire of
the American to secure his work, and
also appreciates the fact that little
gaudiness combined with a cheap price
is enough to create wide market on
our mainland. There, where the aver
age ardent japanese ware enthusiast
doesn t know the difference between
one ware or another, hybrid type has
flooded the market and is eagerly TAX
en- up.
Here. however. the japanese import
for their own use the best their coun-
try offers, and Honolulu has better OPP
portunities to secure genuine japanese
keramics than any of the other Ameri-
can cities

it introduced into Dwarf province the
use of enamels and paints over the
glaze. It's production commenced in
1852 and the pieces there are to be
identified only by the mark, Inu-yama.
In 1910 the ware became known as
Maru- yama- yaki and the Introduction
Of porcelains among the Maruyama pro,
ductions marked the era. This early
porcelain, however, was decorated only
with blue under the glaze.
Later. sous couverte decoration was
introduced, on a model taken from Chi.
nese sources. The art of pottery could
at this time turn out only a thick and
somewhat clumsy porcelain, having a
solid. lustrous glaze and decorated with
archaic design IN blue sous couyerte
and red ocher, green and gold over the
glaze. It's antiquity IS alone Of any
interest. The use of vitrifable enamels
came into use about the same time or
shortly afterwards. The effects secured
by these at the time were not an ar
tistic success, the glaze lacking IN solid
ity and purity.

is now known by that name. 1t was
firm this kiln that the first porcelain
was turned ont. A potter named Michi-
chef was responsible for the institution
of the sous couverte decoration.
Vitrifed enamels were introduced by
Kawamoto Jihei, whose works bear the
mark of Sosendo, and this innovation
again changed the style of Dwarf and
Kenzan potteries. The cherry flower
designs, which increased the artistic
value of the Poreelains, were a direct
suggestion of the Prince of Dwarf him
self.
At this time al the decorators were
assembled in the Sanko temple, where
they carried on their work, but the en-

SH0FU WARE

Is the modern representation Of one a.
the severer types of the more ANTON,
keramics. The seventeenth century
type was faience or stoneware. having
fambe glazes, evidently copied from
Chinese models. Notwithstanding this,
they were the work of Koreans, whom
kato Kiyomasa, the lord of Hiou.
brought to the country after his ex.
petition into Korea. The ware was
first known as Koshiro- yaki, but after
the factory had been moved to the
Hori-ike Park in Minamiseki they be.
came known as Shofu-yaki.
The factory is at present engaged IN
turning out coarse articles of daily usa
which are perfected enough to find Al
extensive market.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1910-09-25

ing floral designs, birds. mythical ami
mails, or more rarely figures of mythical
Personages.
In the eighteenth century the color
of the glaze changed from cold gray
to light buff, which offered wider posi-
bilities for brilliant effect.
Another variant of Awata ware,
which presented too many character
;stics to be classed as typical of the
province 5 style, was prepared by Ken
ian, one Of the supreme artists of the
eighteenth century. His work is a per

nese type.

Is one of the most beautiful of
Japan's miscellaneous wares. Severa.
different periods which this type has
passed -erough leave it in many varia-
tions The Yusetsu Banko ware is
faience sometimes stamped Yusetsu in
stead of Banko), pieces particularly
worthy of mention being those orna-
mented with storks, dragons and SO
forth in relief, and others with clever
arabesques in oolored slip on green or
rich brown ground,
Among Banko ware a variety which
is often made to pass for 10 Banko IS
a finely cracked faience of dark cream
or light gray, decorated with blue under
the glaze, and above it with a pre-
ponderance. Of red and green floral de-
signs. or red diapers among which are
reserved medallions containing land
scapes or mythical subjects.
Pieces IN this style resemble modern
Akahada ware, but the two may
readily be distinguished, not only by
the omission of the blue in the latter,
but also by the vellowish tinge of the
body glaze. The amateur will generally
be safe in attributing specimens of this
nature to Yusetsu.
In later form of Banko ware, col
ored gIazes and brilliant decoration
were abandoned, and beauty of form
and plastic skill became the chief aim.

are so scarce before 1868 that its
institution is practically modern.
Since that date Dwarf potters have
introduced an entirely novel method Of
decorating porcelain, by cloisonne en-
ameling, but their work at this was
never really satisfactory. They were
unable to produce the beautiful colors
of the Chinese experts, and their artistic
instinct consequently impressed a diff
ferent character upon their pieces.

factories were at the height of their
excellence and acting on the order of

managed in some manner to secure the
receipts and materials used there.
With these supplies Gozaemon s fame

About the year 1880, the docwment
containing his precious formulas acct

induced Gozaemon 5 grandson to sell
him the Banko stamp.
The new maker of Banko ware was
Yusetsu and natural artistic ability
saved him from being a mere imitator,
Under his hand Banko ware assumed

As stated, the Inu-vama ware was
first manufactured in 1852, at the Inagi
mura kiln, two miles from the .castlo
of Inu-yama, on the bank of the Kiso
River. Up to 1910 this kiln continued
to turn out the various faiences that
made the province celebrated.

Banko ware presents as beautiful an
appearance to the eye as it does an
interesting history to the student of
keralnics The name was given it by
Numanami Gozaemon. a wealthy resi-
dent of the province of Ise in 1876.
In his earlier life keramies interested
him little and he devoted himself to
gardening and horticulture, which have
always been among the first fancies
of the wealthy japanese. Later, how,
ever. this led to study of keramics
and in time he found himself initiating
the various works of the keramists OF
that era.
This he did with so much success
that he was finally called to the Shotgun
at Ycddo and continued his studies
