Early Tamba ware (Ko-Tamba ware) is attractive for its simple yet powerful pots and jars. The appearance of a heavy pot well-fired to a reddish brown and covered with deep green natural glaze Vidro has a beauty that has nothing to do with technique. Another characteristic of early Tamba ware (Ko-Tamba ware) is the lack of pots with engraved or stamped patterns or selvedge. From the Momoyama period to the Edo period, decorative techniques became more diverse, and a variety of techniques unique to Tamba, such as "embossing," "nail carving," "iron painting," "red painting," "white mud painting," and "suminagashi" were developed and are still handed down to the present day.
