It utilizes region-specific techniques and materials, including the use of local clay and distinctive glazing methods. Glazes such as yellow, blue, and red are employed, with yellow-glazed pieces being particularly renowned. The pottery is characterized by its robust and powerful designs. As the Meiji era unfolded, the production of Satsuma ware expanded both domestically and internationally. Especially during the Meiji and Taisho eras, Satsuma ware garnered high acclaim at events like the Paris Exposition and the Japan Art and Crafts Exhibition.
