Iwanami Photo book series “Seto - pottery town” by Shomei Tomatsu

Description: Book Size B6 Pottery produced in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, accounts for 40% of the nation's total production. Pottery is one of the most familiar things in Japanese life. How is the pottery of Seto, one of the most representative cities in Japan, produced? This book depicts the nature of Seto and the ecology of this vibrant handicraft town. (From the advertisement at that time. First published in 1955.) Contents Ceramic ware is called "Karatsu-mono" west of Keihan and "Seto-mono" east of Keihan. The name "Setomono" was originally derived from the term "Setomono" for tea ceremony utensils made in the Mino area, such as Kizeto, Shino, and Oribe. Some say that Rikyu started it. Today, all ceramics are called by this name, regardless of their place of origin. Today, Seto produces 40% of all ceramics in Japan. Aichi and Gifu prefectures, including Seto, account for 70% of the national production. It is quite natural that ceramics in half of Japan are called Seto-mono. Seto has the longest history of any region in Japan that produces ceramics, and there are many masterpieces produced by master craftsmen of the past and present. However, in this book, I have tried to introduce Seto as a ceramic production center for our daily necessities, without touching on the history of Seto. (From this book)
