Kiln at Kurita Museum

Uphill kiln (登り窯 noborigama) displayed at the Kurita Museum. It is a chambered climbing kiln also built on a slope, and each succeeding chamber is situated higher than the one before it. The chambers in a noborigama are pierced at intervals with stoking ports. Such climbing kilns have been used in Japan since the 17th century. The largest working Noborigama kiln in Japan is located in Shigaraki, in the southern portion of Shiga Prefecture.
