Anagama kiln

An Anagama kiln is a traditional Japanese-style wood-fired kiln with a single-chamber, tunnel-like shape built into a hillside or raised structure. Its design allows for a high, continuous fire that gradually heats the clay ware, promoting unique surface finishes and natural ash glazes. The kiln relies on skilled craftsmanship to control fire and airflow, resulting in distinctive, one-of-a-kind ceramics with varied coloration and textures. The process emphasizes craftsmanship, patience, and natural firing effects, making each piece a reflection of the fire’s interaction with the clay.
