Kyoto Clay Dolls


Photo from my friend Ishino


One plays the shamisen, look on the left.
One in the back sits in zazen with folded hands.

There are eight little dolls.
Usually you find one or two at an antiques fair, here they are all together.

Kiyomizuyaki 清水焼 pottery from Kiyomizu

Kiyomizu-ware from Kyoto

One of the terms commonly given to similar wares produced by several local kilns and associated with the old pottery market which still exists on the hill leading to Kyoto's Kiyomizudera 清水寺.

What is now called Old Kiyomizu ko-kiyomizu 古清水 is actually the pottery that emerged during the Kan'ei 寛永 era (1624-44) from kilns in Yasaka 八坂, Otowa 音羽, Kiyomizu, and Mizorogaike 御菩薩池, all in Kyoto.
It was not until the potter Nonomura Ninsei 野々村仁清 became active after 1647 that the overglaze enamel techniques and decoration associated with Kiyomizu ware were clearly established.
