Akahada-Yaki dates back to 1573 in Nara Prefecture, the origin of the name Akahada comes from Mt. Akahada which literally means "mountain of red clay showing on the surface of a hill".
The Lord of Koriyama Castle, Hidenaga Toyotomi (Hideyoshi Toyotomi's younger brother) invited Yokuro, a master potter from Tokoname Pottery to start producing pottery to cater to the tea ceremonies.
