CHARACTERIZATION OF TAKATORI STONEWARE FROM CHIKUZEN PROVINCE, JAPAN *

CHARACTERIZATION OF TAKATORI STONEWARE FROM CHIKUZEN PROVINCE, JAPAN * This study reports the findings of an examination of stonewares from the Takatori kilns of seventeenth‐ to nineteenth‐century Chikuzen Province, Kyushu, Japan. Scanning electron microscopy and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy were used to determine the mineralogy and chemical compositions of the ceramic bodies. The results of this broad characterization are used to comment on the relationships between these wares and the raw materials used. Despite close similarities in some cases, it is possible to distinguish the wares of many of these kilns from each other and from outwardly similar wares from contemporary kilns in adjacent provinces. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Archaeometry Wiley

Abstract

This study reports the findings of an examination of stonewares from the Takatori kilns of seventeenth‐ to nineteenth‐century Chikuzen Province, Kyushu, Japan. Scanning electron microscopy and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy were used to determine the mineralogy and chemical compositions of the ceramic bodies. The results of this broad characterization are used to comment on the relationships between these wares and the raw materials used. Despite close similarities in some cases, it is possible to distinguish the wares of many of these kilns from each other and from outwardly similar wares from contemporary kilns in adjacent provinces.
