- Japanese: 苗城川 (Naeshirogawa)
Naeshirogawa is a village in Higashi-ichirai, Hioki district, Kagoshima prefecture, which in the Edo period was home to a community of potters descended from some 70[1] Korean ceramics experts forcibly taken from Korea to Japan during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasions of Korea in the 1590s.
The community soon established their own shrine, called Gyokusan Shrine, where Korean-style worship and rituals could take place.[2]
The village still retained this special character as late as the 1780s, when Tachibana Nankei visited and discussed the village in his diaries.
