Potters and Patrons in Edo Period Japan: Takatori Ware and the
Kuroda Domain traces the development of one of Japan's
best-documented ceramic types, from its beginnings around 1600
until the abolition of the domain system in 1871. Using historical
records, archaeological material from early kilns and consumer
sites, and the results of comparative chemical analysis, this study
explores the operation of Takatori as the official ceramic workshop
of the Kuroda, lords of one of the largest domains in Japan.
Spanning cultural, aesthetic, economic and practical aspects, this
book presents Takatori ware as an ideal archetype with which to
compare developments in elite ceramics in other parts of Japan
throughout the Edo period. In addition to its scholarly examination
of the operation of a domain-sponsored ceramics workshop over more
than 250 years, the book includes illustrations of examples from
each of the seven Takatori workshop locations, including beautiful
pieces that have never before appeared in print.
