Pottery is a daily part of the lives of many Japanese people since its forms such as cups, bowls, jars and teapots are readily useable. The Kokujiyaki workshops, located in Kuji City, Iwate Prefecture, have been producing high quality pottery since the Edo period. Kokujiyaki pottery is still manufactured using a traditional method and has a characteristic appearance. Why not learn about how Kokujiyaki is made, take your pick from the many beautiful items on display in the on-site shop, or even try your hand on the potter's wheel?
