Sumida Gawa

The word “gawa” means river in Japanese. Sumida pottery was made near the Sumida River and has sometimes been referred to as Sumida Gawa pottery. However, pottery marked “Sumidagawa” is a low-fire raku ware. It was made near the Sumida River, but not by the same potters who made Sumida pottery.
