*''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 Korean ceramics experts forcibly taken from Korea to Japan during [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Toyotomi Hideyoshi's]] [[Korean Invasions|invasions of Korea]] in the 1590s.
The village still retained this special character as late as the 1780s, when [[Tachibana Nankei]] visited and discussed the village in his diaries.
