Akazu yaki 赤津焼 Akazu pottery
- quote -
The origins of this ware date back to an earthenware called 須恵器 sueki that was made about 700, during the Nara period (710-794), although the traditional skills, techniques and nomenclature of Akazu Yaki that are still in use today were established during the early years of the Edo period (1600-1868). It was the period slightly prior to this that saw the establishment of glazing techniques that are still in use, namely 志野 shino, 織部 oribe, 黄瀬戸 kizeto (yellow seto), and 御深井（おふけ ofuke.
In all, seven main glazes are in use.
In addition to this some 12 different techniques are employed, including herahori in which a modeling tool is used to make a pattern on a formed piece. Then for inka, motifs are created using a stamp after forming in a mold. Using a bamboo or metal skewer, parallel lines, wavy lines, spirals, or a pattern of dots are made on the clay while the surface is still soft for kushime. For mishimade using a technique coming from Korea, a pattern of chrysanthemums is created in a white slip wash on a dark grey ground. Making full use of these techniques, tetsu-e decorations, which have been in use since the Momoyama period (1573-1600), are added in iron. Today, items associated with the tea ceremony and for ikebana are among the main pieces made along with various kinds of dishes to be used at top quality Japanese restaurants and in the home. All are highly praised by specialists as hand made articles of the very best quality.

Hanabi from Toyohashi 豊橋の花火 Toyohashi Fireworks
Writings on the fireworks in Yoshida (the former name of Toyohashi) have been found in the archives of Yoshida Shrine.
..... Fireworks in Yoshida only started to become as impressive as the current Gion Festival fireworks after the City was reformed during 1688 to 1704.
..... ll around Yoshida were shrines dedicated to fireworks festivals in the same way as Yoshida Shrine. Utari Shrine in Kozakai Town, Hoi district and many other shrines in other districts competed to produce the best fireworks. Designs unique to certain areas became apparent, and the blue, red, and yellow fireworks that are so popular today all come from the works of firework manufacturers of the Toyohashi region. To this day, fireworks are still widely used in festivals and events, weddings and other ceremonies, proving that this region is the real home of fireworks.

In the mountains of Mikawa a lot of unmo (kirara) 雲母 mica was found since the times of Kira Kozukenosuke and earlier.
Yatsuomoteyama 八ツ面山 was especially famous for it, and mica from this mountain was even delivered to the Imperial Court in Kyoto.
But during the work in the mountains there were also many human deaths by accidents, and thus it was stopped eventually.
To appease the souls of the dead workers, 加藤熊蔵 Kato Kumazo was the first to make this shimmering kirara bells. They were hung on the trees of the path where the funeral procession was walking.

Okazaki sekkohin 岡崎石工品 Okazaki stonemasonry
- quote -
Okazaki stonemasonry is stone crafts including stone carved lanterns produced in the area around the city of Okazaki in the Aichi prefecture. It is made using traditional masonry skills that were found and developed in the late years of the Muromachi period (1336-1573). The original lantern form was established in the Azuchi momoyama period (1573-1600) and the easy acquisition of fine quality Okazaki granite supported the development of the masonry industry.
Makabe in the Ibaraki prefecture, Aji in the Kagawa pefecture, and Okazaki in the Aichi prefecture are known as the three major stone production areas of Japan. Each area produces its own characteristic stone.
The Makabe region has a large variety of stone types and a high production volume because of its abundant and good quality granite. The stone craft from the Aji region has a very attractive mottled pattern unique to the region, and it is categorized as a world class stone craft. Okazaki stonemasonry has a long history and one of its characteristics is the abundance of stone with distinctive marbling such as Okazaki granite. Moreover, its masonry skills and techniques have been developed to such an extent that it is known as the stone capital of Japan, and in 1979, Okazaki stonemasonry was registered as a Japanese traditional craft.

- quote -
KORYU-SEMI has a very excellent feature to fly stable at strong wind speed at 8-15m/sec. It is very difficult to build KORYU SEMI because it needs a special sooty bamboo for its frame, Washi(Japanese paper) and excellent technique and experience to build.
KORYU means old style and SEMI means a cicada.
Those are a horsefly (Abu) type, a cicada (Semi) type and a bee (Hachi) type in their configuration. The Nagoya Koryu shows an excellent flight feature in a strong wind such as 5m/s to 15m/s and have a hummer with high pitched sound.
Although the height of the kite usually does not exceed more than 60 cm, the flight stability in the strong wind is very excellent. The building technique is very difficult because it needs a superior craftsmanship and experiences.
Mr.Masaaki Satoh is an outstanding kite builder of Nagoya koryu.

Toyohashi fude 豊橋筆 Toyohashi brushes
Toyohashi brushes are calligraphy brushes produced in the area around the city of Toyohashi, Aichi prefecture. They are known as high quality brushes and the favorite of many calligraphers. There are over a hundred types of brushes that are not only for calligraphy but also for makeup, Japanese painting, and traditional crafts. Toyohashi brushes have the second largest brush production in Japan after Kumano brushes, from the town of Kumano, Hiroshima prefecture. The overall annual production of Toyohashi brushes is 1.8 million brushes and its premium range accounts for seventy percent of the high-end market.
The brush has smooth writing strokes and easy ink absorption. Those characteristic features are the result of carefully blending of different hairs. The hairs are carefully assessed and sorted by their length, thickness, stiffness and elasticity. The sorted hairs are then soaked in water, combed, and mixed together well to ensure easy ink absorption.
- History
In 1804, the lord of the Yoshida domain (now the city of Toyohashi) invited a brush maker from Kyoto to come and work for the domain administration. The domain was having financial difficulties and lower class samurai were making brushes for supplementary income.
Toyohashi is located in a mountainous region, making it relatively easy to secure the hair of Japanese raccoon dogs and weasels. In addition, it was one of fifty-three post towns (rest areas) of the Tokaido Highway*, helping spread the craft across the country.
In the early years of the Meiji period (1868-1912), Jirokichi HAGA promoted the production methods of a coreless brush called a suihitsu (current calligraphy brush). These new production methods, which are still in place today, improved upon the previous brushes that had wound paper in their core. His apprentice, Jusaku SANO, further improved the calligraphy brush and established a foundation for the current Toyohashi brush. The postwar baby boom and reintroduction of calligraphy to the school curriculum heralded the golden age of Toyohashi brushes. In 1976, Toyohashi brushes was registered as a traditional Japanese craft.
