At the end of the Heian period (A.D. 794-1192), new and different styles in ceramic wares began to appear. The dawn of medieval ceramic production is usually thought to begin with the establishment of kilns specializing in certain types of products such as jars in various sizes (tsubo or kame types) and bowls. The medieval ceramic ware can be roughly divided into two groups according to the production techniques, which already begins with the difference of the kiln itself. One is represented by the production type of the Heian-period kilns of Sanage in present-day Aichi Prefecture, which employed ash glaze, the other being the kilns that inherited the sueki ware (stoneware of Korean origin introduced in the late Kofun period, i.e. 250-600) production. Japanese medieval ceramic wares were produced in rich varieties of styles and developments, depending on the age and type of kilns.
