[Mumyoui Ware]
One style of Japanese pottery produced in Sado island, Ni'igata prefecture. The first Mumyoui ware was produced in 1819 by Jinpei Ito with mumyoi clay, which contains ferrous oxide, and later Jouzan Miura the first developed new methods such as high-temperature firing to improve its strength. As Mumyoi pottery is fired in a kiln at a high temperature, it becomes exceptionally hard and they produces a clear metallic sound when tapped.
Mumyoui ware was designated as Important Intangible Cultural Property in 2003.
