One of the common styles of kiln that was used was the nobori-gama, a multi-chambered kiln situated on elevated grounds, allowing better firing efficiency. In recent times, however, the several noborigama-kilns that were gathered to Tsuboya have been under criticism for causing pollution in the central area and were forced to close.
