 これまでの大窯とは違い、「房」(焼成室)を連ねた大量生産可能な窯が、朝鮮半島から九州の唐津へ伝わりました。美濃地方では、17世紀初頭に唐津から導入され、可児市や土岐市、多治見市などで「織部」が生産されました。
 可児市久々利大萱地区には、織部を焼いた弥七田古窯跡があります。ここで焼かれた薄手で、銅緑釉を掛け流し、繊細な絵を施した特色ある織部は、「弥七田織部」として特筆されます。


Introduced to the Karatsu district of Kyūshū from the Korean Peninsula, it differs from its predecessor, the Ōgama, in that it has numerous firing chambers, facilitating mass production. Spreading to the Mino Province from Karatsu in the early seventeenth century, kilns of this type were built in what are now Kani, Toki and Tajimi cities where they were used to produce Oribe ware.

The Yashichida kiln in Kukuri Ōgaya, Kani City, was used to fire Oribe ware. The works produced here are known as Yashichida Oribe, they are characteristically thin-walled with a green copper glaze and a delicate motif.
