is a type of Japanese pottery, stoneware, and ceramics produced in and around the municipality of Inuyama, Owari Province, in central Japan.
The term refers to two kilns that produced in this area. The earlier one was located in the village of Imai (ä»ÂäºÂæÂÂ) in Niwa District, which was about 4 km southeast of Inuyama Castle. The second one was the Maruyama kiln (丸山窯) at Inuyama castle, which produced the only type of ware in Owari province that was decorated primarily in different colours. The Imai kiln is said to have operated from Hà Âreki (1751âÂÂ64) until the end of An'ei (1772âÂÂ81). The Maruyama kiln opened in Bunka 7 (1810). Potters from Awataguchi (ç²Âç°å£) in Kyoto's eastern area as well Kamishima village (ä¸Âå¿Â段å³æÂÂ, today a part of Inuyama and Moriyama-ku, Nagoya) were invited.
Inuyama ware can come in many different types. Red and green coloured ware is a popular mark with flower and nature motifs.
Notable artists are Yamamoto Gempà  (1866-1961), and Ozeki Sakujà «rà  (å°¾é¢ä½ÂÃ¥ÂÂéÂÂ) and studio.
