In primitive communities, people regarded all objects in nature and the sky as living beings, creating an imaginary world composed of supernatural creatures. Thus, a hidden, imaginary world consisting of supernatural creatures was spoken of, distinct from the visible and known material world. These figures, described as fantastic creatures by researchers, have been applied to various materials such as wood, glass, and fabric, predominantly stone, across a wide geographical area and over a considerable period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"border-bottom-color: currentColor; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-image-outset: 0; border-image-repeat: stretch; border-image-slice: 100%; border-image-source: none; border-image-width: 1; border-left-color: currentColor; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: currentColor; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-color: currentColor; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 12px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003eExamples featuring mythological animal figures, reflecting the characteristics of nomadic society before Islam, continued after the adoption of Islam.

We see that the same concepts are used differently by different authors. The definitions, scopes, similarities, or differences between terms have not been clearly established. Especially the word 'çini' (tile) has been expressed with different terms in different geographies. While this art form was called 'kaşi' in Iran, Turkestan, and Anatolia, the word 'çini', which later entered Turkish, became widespread and established. Although it is not possible to go back, thinking about the origin and use of this word is an important part of the terminology discussion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWe can say that a similar confusion exists in Western languages. The French called this concept 'céramique', the English 'ceramic' or 'tiles', and the Germans 'keramik'. Researchers in Turkey directly adopted these terms according to their own schools, often using the words 'çini', 'seramik', and 'keramik' interchangeably. However, there are significant differences in meaning between these terms. Based on these observations, I realized that terminology is of great importance in the writing, narration, and learning processes related to tile art. Terminology is the alphabet of art; it is impossible to read or write without knowing the alphabet…\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eDuring my 25 years of service in Kütahya, I developed an interest in tile art and had the opportunity to learn this art firsthand from its masters.
