京焼・清水焼は、京都でつくられるやきものの総称です。高い意匠力と多彩な技術とが、「土もの」と呼ばれる陶器と「石もの」と呼ばれる磁器の両分野で、あらゆる種類のやきものをつくりだしてきました。雄略天皇の時代(5 世紀後半)にはじまったとされる歴史は、17世紀中頃に野々村仁清が華麗な色絵陶器を完成させて一つの頂点を迎え、その後も尾形乾山、奥田頴川、青木木米といった多くの陶工が独自のデザイン・技法を生み出してきました。高度な技術力に基づいた華麗で 雅 やかなやきものです。
“Kyo-yaki” and “Kiyomizu-yaki” are general terms used to refer to all the pottery made in Kyoto.
