Tanba-yaki has a history of more than 800 years. Born at the end of the Heian Period. It has played an important role in Japan’s pottery history, with the production of water jars and vases and ceremonial tea products in the Edo Period.

Like most pottery types of the era, Tanba-yaki has started without glaze, giving it the traditional earthern look. Nowadays, various natural glazes are used in the production of tableware, and the carving technique haas been established as one of Tanba-yaki’s often used distinctive features.

Alongside with Shigaraki-yaki, Tokoname-yaki, Seto-yaki, Bizen-yaki, and Echizen-yaki, which were established in the same period, the tradition of Tanba-yaki has been handed down to the present day as one of the "Six Ancient Kilns of Japan".
