Nagayo ware

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Nagayo-yaki)

Nagayo ware (長与焼, Nagayo-yaki) refers to a type of Japanese pottery produced in the region around the towns of Nagayo in Nagasaki Prefecture, western Japan.

Nagayo ware has links to Kameyama ware.[1] During the Edo period, a number of high-quality ceramic vessels were produced that employed the sancai (三彩; literally: "three colours") type of decoration, which mainly used, but was not limited to, the three colors of brown, green, and a creamy off-white.[2][3]
