The Tengudani Kiln is said to be one of Japan's first kilns where porcelain was fired.
This kiln was used during the early stage of Arita's porcelain production.
There is a close connection between this kiln and the father of Arita porcelain 李参平 Ri Sanpei. According to the chronicles of his descendants, the Kanagae family, "after having discovered a kaolin deposit at 泉山 Mt. Izumiyama, he constructed the first kiln at 白川天狗谷 Shirakawa Tengudani, for it was easy to access both water and fire wood, and as he taught painting and workmanship techniques to his disciples, the art of porcelain making gradually became a thriving business". The kiln is a climbing kiln constructed on a mountain slope. It is said to be between 3m and 8m in width and more than 50m in length.
