Takamaro Shigaraki (信楽 峻麿, 1926 – 26 September 2014) was a Japanese Buddhist philosopher and priest within the Honganji-ha branch of Jōdo Shinshū. [1] Shigaraki is widely regarded as one of the most influential Buddhologists of the Jōdo Shinshū in the 20th century. [2] Shigaraki was born in Hiroshima in 1926.
A light, transparent, or almost glass-like glaze with a bluish-green tint also appears on some Shigaraki wares. The glazes were dribbled, sprayed or spattered over the ceramic surface. Unless allowed to gather in small pools, the glaze appears near invisible in most lighting, only becoming visible when the piece is held and turned in the hand.

Shigaraki is famous for its ceramic kilns since ancient times. The area is known for its clay beds, and locally mined clay is often used by local potters. Works produced here are known as Shigaraki-yaki. Many local potters use wood fired anagama kilns. Many tanuki statues are also produced here.
The plan to build a giant statue in Shigaraki was transformed into the Nara Daibutsu project. [3] The actual site of the palace was lost for many years. Initially, ruins in the Urano neighborhood of Shigaraki were thought to be the site of the palace, and these ruins were given the National Historic Site designation in 1926.
