Climbing kiln

4 multi-chambered climbing kiln

It was the big 13 multi-chambered climbing kiln formerly.

And this 4 multi-chambered climbing kiln reconstructed with the kiln materials which took out of 13 multi-chambered climbing kiln .

This kiln fired the big crocks or the big pottery mortars which it saw beside a kiln several times a year formerly.

but it is not use now.

Reason:

1. It is impossible now to collect products to fill this kiln.

2. It being difficult to collect a lot of firewoods of AKAMATSU to fired it.

*AKAMATSU is Japanese red pine tree. Resinous is strong, and the Akamatsu is most suitable for firewood.

The capacity of this kiln can fill up 10,000 by a medium-sized crocks

If it use rice bowls, how many needs rice bowls if there fill up this kiln?

.

In the times when we used this climbing kiln, we brought in the product from a potter's wheel studio in the outskirts and filled a kiln with products.

about the AKAMATSU(Red pine tree).

The AKAMATSU was used the firewood for kiln ware, because fire power is strong.

But it was said that the AKAMATSU for one "SATOYAMA"( one mountain (SATOYAMA) is necessary for this kiln ware.So this kiln ware was necessary too many the AKAMATSU firewood.

And trees disappeared from the "SATOYAMA" after it was many kiln ware at the Seto city in long time.

and changed to oil and coal kiln from climbing kiln.
