Ceramic art in Japan, dating back to ancient times, evolved significantly from the Heian to Muromachi periods. Made from clay shaped, glazed, and fired, ceramics offer endless variations in color, texture, and pattern. Beyond functional vessels, ceramics are now celebrated as artistic and spiritual expressions, used in both interior and exterior spaces. Today, they’re popular for decorative wall finishes, art panels, and objets d’art, thanks to their rich textures, durability, and visual appeal.
