Akae - Red painting

Japanese: 赤絵 - あかえ

A colored painting with red as the main color. In the broad sense, it is pottery with a painted finish, and is also called "colored painting." In China, it is called "five colors." The glazed surface of a piece of pottery that has been glazed and fired is painted with red, green, black, yellow, and other colors, and then fired again at a low temperature (around 700-850°C). Gold and silver are fired at an even lower temperature. In China, it was first made at the Cizhou kiln in northern China during the Jin dynasty. During the Yuan dynasty, works with red and green colors applied to white porcelain appeared at the Jingdezhen kiln, and colorful painted works continued to be fired after the Ming dynasty. Some of the more distinctive works are the "kinrande," "wanli akae," and "tenkei akae" from the Jiajing period. The "old akae" favored by Japanese tea masters is said to have been made at the Jingdezhen folk kiln around the Shotoku and Jiajing periods. In the late Ming dynasty, the Shangzhou kilns in Fujian Province produced large plates and bowls called "Gosu Akae" (red-glazed pottery), which were exported in large quantities overseas. In Japan, the technique began in the 1640s with Imari ware, and in the mid-17th century, Nonomura Ninsei perfected colored decoration of pottery in Kyoto. The technique of red-glazed pottery did not develop in the Korean peninsula.

Japanese:

赤を主調とする上絵付のある色絵。広義には上絵付を施されたやきもので，〈色絵〉とも。中国では〈五彩〉と呼ぶ。施釉され，本焼されたやきものの釉面に，赤，緑，黒，黄色などの上絵具を塗り，それを再度低い温度（700〜850℃程度）で焼き付ける。金や銀色の焼き付けは，さらに低い温度で行う。中国では金代，華北の磁州窯で創始された。元代には景徳鎮窯で，紅緑彩を白磁の上に施す作品が現れ，明代以降も引き続き，多彩な上絵付の作品が焼造される。特徴的な作品としては，嘉靖の〈金襴手(きんらんで)〉，〈万暦赤絵(ばんれきあかえ)〉，〈天啓赤絵(てんけいあかえ)〉など。日本の茶人が好む〈古赤絵〉は，正徳，嘉靖ごろの景徳鎮民窯の作といわれる。福建省【しょう】州(しょうしゅう)窯では，明代末期に〈呉須赤絵(ごすあかえ)〉と呼ばれる大盤や鉢などを焼成し，海外に大量に輸出した。日本では，1640年代に伊万里焼において始められ，また同様に17世紀中葉，京都で野々村仁清が陶器の色絵装飾を完成させている。朝鮮半島では赤絵の技法は発達しなかった。
