Origin and Historical Development
Aizu-Hongo ware developed in the late Sengoku to early Edo periods. Local records state that potters began firing kilns in Hongō after clay deposits were discovered in the region. By the early Edo period, workshops were producing stoneware jars, bowls, and household items for the growing castle town of Aizu-Wakamatsu.
