Tools for tataki technique, Black Satsuma Ware

The Korean potters brought with them the tataki technique for creating large jars and flowerpots 420 years ago. This technique continues to be used today in its original form. The shape, usage and name of the tools used today are nearly the same as those described in Kōrai-den Tōki Kigen Seizō-sho that records the production ceramic wares during the Edo period.
