Seto-yaki (瀬戸焼) is a type of Japanese pottery that comes from the town of Seto in Aichi Prefecture, Japan and dates back almost 800 years. One of the Six Ancent Kilns of Japan, Seto ware found initial fame in replicating advanced Chinese ceramics, such as tenmoku and celadon wares. Later, Seto-yaki developed many unique styles of its own, such as Shino ware, Kiseto ware, and Oribe ware.
