Kochiyaki

Japanese: 交趾焼 - こうちやき
Kochiyaki

Sancai pottery from the late Ming Dynasty, fired in southern China. Although it is Chinese, it is called Kochi (an old regional name for southern Vietnam) because Japan often reimported wares that were exported to this area. Kochi ware is clearly descended from Chinese Ming dynasty ceramics in both technique and style. There are two types: soft ceramic base and hard semi-porcelain base. Semi-porcelain base Kochi ware is in the same line as the Houka (Fo-ka) wares of the Jingdezhen kilns, and is thought to be a product of a kiln affiliated with this kiln. The Kochi ware incense holders, which are particularly popular among Japanese tea masters, are typical of the latter type. In Japan, kilns around the country fired sancai ware following the example of Kochi ware in the late Edo period, and the sancai glaze is called Kochi glaze.

Japanese:

中国、華南地方で焼かれた明(みん)後期の三彩陶。中国物でありながら交趾(南ベトナムの古い地方名)とするのは、この方面に輸出されたものを、日本が再度輸入することが多かったためと思われる。交趾焼は技術、様式とも明らかに中国の明代陶磁の系譜を引く。素地が柔らかい陶胎と固い半磁胎とに分かれ、とくに半磁胎の交趾焼は景徳鎮窯の法花(ほうか)と同一線上にあり、この窯(かま)の傍系の窯の作品かと判断される。とくに日本の茶人の間でやかましい交趾焼の香合(こうごう)は、後者に属する典型である。なお、わが国では、江戸後期に各地の窯が交趾焼に倣って三彩を焼き、その三彩釉(ゆう)を交趾釉と称する。
