Agano-Ueno yaki bowl
Agano yaki is a tradition of Japanese ceramics from Fukuoko Prefecture on the island of Kyushu. Agano yaki, like many ceramic traditions established in the 17th century in Japan, was the result of the Japanese invasion of Korea in the late 16th century and the capture of Korean ceramicists that were brought back to Japan by various feudal lords. Agano yaki is best known for a bluish-green copper glaze called, rokusho-nagashi, that is contrasted with a white glaze, but many other glazes are used as well.
