Yoshu Kiln

Japanese: 耀州窯 - ようしゅうよう

Located in Huangbao Town, Tongchuan City, Shaanxi Province, China, this is a representative celadon kiln in North China, and its works. The surrounding kilns that fire celadon in a similar style are also broadly considered to be of the Yaozhou kiln type. The kiln was opened during the Tang Dynasty, and celadon has been fired since around the Five Dynasties period. It is characterized by an olive green glaze color that is fired with a slightly oxidizing flame. It was most popular during the Northern Song Dynasty, when works with sharp, flowing carved and embossed patterns were fired on the underglaze base.

中国陝西省銅川市黄堡鎮にある華北を代表する青磁窯，またその作品。これと同様の作風の青磁を焼成する周辺の窯も，広義に耀州窯系とされる。唐時代に開窯，五代ごろより青磁を焼成。やや酸化炎焼成気味に焼き上がった，オリーブグリーンの釉色に特色がある。北宋時代にもっとも盛んになり，釉下の素地に，鋭く流麗な彫り文様，型押し文様を施す作品を焼造した。
