Jhu-nan Snake Kiln
Publish Date:2017-05-27
Did You Know That
…?
The Snake Kiln was introduced to Taiwan by Minnan immigrants during the early part of the imperial Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and soon became the source of almost all the pottery products in everyday life for about three hundred years.
Although the name conjures up the image of a twisting snake, Snake Kilns are long and straight, without separation in the center, and usually built into the slopes of hills.
The Jhu-nan Snake Kiln was founded in 1972. At the time of its founding, the elder Lin led a crew of nine craftsmen (and an ox), making the molds and bricks himself. It took him and his crew nine days to complete the 23-meter long kiln (today, the kiln has been reduced to 19 meters). The Jhu-nan kiln is one of the few Snake Kilns still in operation in Taiwan.
