| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, I analyzed the diversity of the ceramic industry’s areas. In modern Japan, along with the growth of several major ceramic industry’s areas, many small production areas also remained.I discovered that the variety of ceramics production area’s survival strategy were diverse. Specifically, I examined three cases. The first case, Hagi-Yaki pottery survived by strengthening ties with the tea ceremony of the descendants of SEN no Rikyu. The second case, Aizu-Hongo-Yaki porcelain survived by insurance trading with the government agency, especially with the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Army. The last case, Kyo-Yaki ceramics survived due to the high artistic value, even during wartime.On the other hand, there was also a fallen production area.For example, Mikawachi-Yaki porcelain couldn’t grow because manufacturers had trusted critic's wrong analysis.
