Inuyama ware

The earlier one was located in the village of Imai (今井村) in Niwa District, which was about 4 km southeast of Inuyama Castle.

The second one was the Maruyama kiln (丸山窯) at Inuyama castle, which produced the only type of ware in Owari province that was decorated primarily in different colours.

Potters from Awataguchi (粟田口) in Kyoto's eastern area as well Kamishima village (上志段味村, today a part of Inuyama and Moriyama-ku, Nagoya) were invited.

Red and green coloured ware is a popular mark with flower and nature motifs.
