Local specialties
Many people with an interest in ceramics have the village of Imbe, in Okayama Prefecture's Bizen district high on the list of places they must visit. Bizen ware first appeared in the 14th century and, thanks to its rustic appearance and popularity for the tea ceremony, had its heyday in the 16th century.
Bizen ware is unglazed and characterized by an earth-like, reddish-brown color with traces of the ash from the production process in wood-fired kilns.
Ceramic design inspired by China
Visitors are also welcome in the town of Arita, famous for its traditional blue-and-white glazed porcelain and newer designs that draw on Chinese styles and utilize brighter colors and more intricate designs.
The potters in the town of Hagi , in Yamaguchi Prefecture, turned to their counterparts from Korea in the late 16th century for their inspiration, with the local feudal lord ordering Hagi ware for his personal tea ceremonies and gifts. The pottery is famous for its subtle and natural forms, as well as subdued and simple colors that are designed to contrast with the bright green of matcha green tea.
Kutani ware is a more elaborate and decorative style of porcelain that originated in Ishikawa Prefecture and can be traced back to kilns that were set up in the mid-1650s. Older Kutani pieces incorporate dark greens, blues and yellows in their designs, but halted in 1730 making items from this period extremely rare. Production resumed in the first decade of the 1800s, using an overglaze painting technique to create intricate and colorful designs.

Shigaraki is just one of dozens of towns dotted across Japan that have developed their own styles of ceramics, which can be traced back to earthenware pots that were crafted in the prehistoric Jomon period.

Try your hand at Kintsugi, mending broken pottery with precious metals
Discover how this age-old, sustainable art form collides with wabi-sabi philosophy
Kintsugi is a centuries-old technique for fixing broken pottery with precious metals. Kintsugi translates to “golden joinery,” mending damaged pottery by joining the pieces with natural resin (urushi) and sprinkling the joints with gold powder (maki-e) before polishing them. This revered maki-e technique is a closely kept secret amongst Kintsugi artisans and follows Japanese concepts including the aesthetic of wabi-sabi, a tradition of accepting and finding beauty in transience and imperfection. Beyond this, the art of Kintsugi is recognized as a sustainable practice, where old, discarded objects are given a new lease of life. Learn from Kintsugi master Showzi Tsukamoto during this gold joinery workshop as your broken pottery is reborn into a beautiful piece of art. Following the workshop, your host will perform a samurai-style tea ceremony service and explain the philosophy and history behind Kintsugi. You’ll leave the workshop with a sense of accomplishment and a treasured memento of your experience.
