[Tochigi] Mashiko ware pottery tour "Kogama Iwashita"

Mashiko Town, Tochigi Prefecture, known for Mashiko ware, is home to about 250 kilns and pottery stores, but this time we visited Kogama Iwashita (Iwashita Pottery), a kiln founded in 1866! You can also visit the town's designated tangible cultural properties, the climbing kiln and the Taiheigama kiln, for free. On the day, the old man at the store gave us a detailed explanation of how to fire pottery from long ago, and we were able to feel very close to Mashiko ware☺️ You can also experience pottery, so please give it a try! 📍3070 Mashiko, Mashiko-cho, Haga-gun, Tochigi Prefecture #pottery #traditionalcraft #Tochigitrip #trip2022
