Q：常滑焼(とこなめやき)とは？
A：常滑焼は、日本の愛知県常滑市を中心とした陶磁器の伝統的な窯元です。「日本六古窯(にほんろっこよう)」(瀬戸・常滑・信楽・丹波・備前・越前)と呼ばれています。平安時代末期には、知多半島の丘陵地に常滑を中心に穴窯が広がり、山茶碗や壺などが作られました。この時代に作られた焼き物は古常滑と呼ばれます。中世常滑窯は当時最大の生産地で、大型の皿や茶碗が特徴でした。室町時代には生産が拡大し、大型の甕や壺が遠隔地へ船で運ばれました。江戸時代には真焼けの陶芸品が増え、明治時代には平地窯や機械化が導入され、食塩焼きが現れ、土管・焼酎瓶・建築陶器、衛生陶器も登場し、近代産業へ進化しました。大正から平成にかけて技術と生産が急速に進歩し、現在の状況に至りました。

Q : What is Tokoname yaki?
A : Tokoname yaki is a traditional pottery pottery centered in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. At the end of the Heian period (794-1185), anagama kilns spread across the hills of the Chita Peninsula around Tokoname, known as the "Six Ancient Kilns of Japan" (Seto, Tokoname, Shigaraki, Tanba, Bizen, and Echizen). Tea bowls and pots were made. Pottery made in this period is called Ko-Tokoname. Medieval Tokoname kiln was the largest production area at that time, and was characterized by large plates and bowls. During the Muromachi period, production expanded, and large-scale jars and pots could be obtained by ship to remote areas. In the Edo era, the number of ceramics made with true ware increased, and in the Meiji period, flat kilns and mechanization were introduced, salt-grilled products appeared, clay pipes, shochu bottles, architectural ceramics, and sanitary wares appeared, evolving into a modern industry. Technology and production progressed rapidly in the future, leading to the current situation.
