About Tokoname pottery:
Tokoname is a historic pottery town in Aichi Prefecture and one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, with production dating back over 1,000 years. It’s best known for unglazed, high-fired stoneware made from iron-rich red clay.
A large prehistoric body of water often called Ancient Lake Tōkai covered much of the region millions of years ago. As the lake repeatedly expanded and shrank, it laid down thick layers of fine sediments mixed with iron-bearing minerals from surrounding mountains. Over time, those sediments compressed into the iron-rich clays found today around Tokoname.
That ancient lake environment is a big reason the Tōkai region became such a strong center for ceramics.

Place of Origin: Tokoname, Japan
