[Aka-e]
A technique of decorating ceramics. Overglaze painting used glassy colors of red, green, yellow, purple and blue. It start to be made in China during Sung period and Kakiemon started to make Aka-e ceramics in Japan for the first time in Tenpo period (1644-1648).

[Awata ware]
Awata ware is one style of Japanese ceramics produced in Awata area in Kyoto city, which is often said to be the earliest kiln of Kyo ware.
The first Awata ware kiln was established in Keage during the Gen’na period (1615-1624) by Sanmojiya Kyuemon who was a potter from Seto, and kilns flourished under the protection of Shoren’in (a Buddhist temple, also known as the Awata Palace) in the Edo period. In the Meiji period, Awata ware adopted styles of Satsuma ware with sophisticated designs of traditional Kyo ware, and they were called “Kyo-Satsuma”. Many of Kyo satsuma products were exported to overseas, and it became very popular there.
