Anagama Sculpture

An Anagama is a traditional Japanese wood-burning kiln used for firing ceramics. The term "firebox" is used to describe the space for the fire, there is no physical structure separating the stoking space from the pottery space. All Anagama pottery depends on the intimate interaction of the clay with the flames and ash from a slow-burning wood fire that is tended by hand for a number of days and nights.
