Etymology

The name Aizu-Hongō-yaki (会津本郷焼) derives from:

  • Aizu (会津) — the historical domain and region.
  • Hongō (本郷) — the town where the kilns originated and remain centered.

The term refers to pottery made in this district, which historically functioned as a major ceramic center for Aizu Domain.
