Song San Cai (English spelling)

Japanese: 宋三彩 - そうさんさい（英語表記）Sòng sān cǎi

Sancai pottery from the Song Dynasty in China. The Song Dynasty, founded in 960, was invaded by the Jurchens in 1126 (Jingkang 1), who crossed over to the south, resulting in the coexistence of the Southern Song and Jin dynasties on the north and south. When referring to Song Sancai, it is customary to include Jin Sancai as well. Song Sancai follows the lineage of Sancai from the late Tang and Five Dynasties, and was originally fired in kilns related to the Cizhou kiln in northern China, such as Dengfeng kilns, Lushan kilns, and Baofeng kilns in Henan Province, and Cizhou kilns in Hebei Province. However, it is strange that there are very few surviving pieces of Sancai from the Northern Song Dynasty.

Japanese:

中国，宋時代の三彩陶。960年に建国した宋王朝は1126年(靖康1)に女真族の侵寇を受けて南渡すると，南北に南宋，金の両王朝が併存することとなった。宋三彩という場合，金三彩をも含めて称するのが常である。宋三彩は晩唐，五代の三彩の系譜をひき，はじめは華北の磁州窯系の窯で焼造されており，河南省の登封窯，魯山窯，宝豊窯，河北省の磁州窯などで焼造された。しかし北宋時代の三彩は遺品が大変少ないのが奇妙である。
