Sanshu Kawara Fired from Western Mikawa Clay
Sanshu Kawara is a clay roof-tile family made mainly in Aichi Prefecture’s western Mikawa area, with a name that reaches back to the former province name Sanshu. The region had plentiful clay suited to roof tiles, and work in blended clay, glazes, and ceramic machinery gathered around it. From clay extraction and pugging through forming, drying, glazing, firing at about 1,150 C, selection, and shipment, the tile stays tied to earth, heat, and roofs.

Production runs from clay extraction and pugging through forming, drying, glazing, firing at about 1,150 C, careful selection, and shipment; shapes, colors, and roof-location categories connect the tiles to actual roof use.
What makes Sanshu roof tiles distinct, and why is it a Aichi specialty?
Takahama hosts two organizations: the Sanshu Kawara Industrial Cooperative, with 30 members, and the Aichi Ceramic Roof Tile Industrial Association, with 24 member companies. Ibushi tile production includes pugging, forming, and firing, while ceramic tile production includes forming, drying, glazing, and selection. Sanshu Kawara is described through durability and a fired-ceramic texture. Hand-making techniques for the tiles have accumulated over time.
