出雲市多伎町久村2011−5 / Kumura Takicho Izumo city

Remains of the old kiln of the domaine, built in 1827.
The potter 木村甚兵衛 Kimura Jinbei from Imari 肥前国伊万里 was invited to come here and open a kiln.
The ware was named Kumura yaki or 長沢焼 Nagasawa yaki.
The kiln was under the supervision of the Shimane domain. To make the supervision easier, the kiln was re-located in 1836 to 八束郡東出雲町意東 Yatsuka district, Higashiizumocho Shimoito and this one was abolished.
This site became a prefecture historic site in 1959.
