Get into Nature and History!
Zasu Pottery is one of the few remaining anagama (traditional wood-fired kilns) in the Tohoku region, continuing the tradition of producing unglazed, natural-fired pottery. Their work features everyday tableware as well as flower vases, tea utensils, and art objects, blending traditional techniques with designs that fit modern lifestyles.
During the experience, you will tour the old-style anagama kiln while listening to explanations from the pottery master. You will also visit the gallery showcasing pieces fired in this kiln. If you find a favorite item, purchases are available. Upon request, you can also watch a demonstration of pottery wheel throwing by the pottery master.
At the end of the tour, you will receive a carefully selected souvenir from the pottery master.
