〇Purpose of the event
There are many ceramic production areas throughout Japan, including the “Six Ancient Kilns of Japan” (Echizen, Seto, Tokoname, Shigaraki, Tamba, Bizen), which have been producing ceramics since the Middle Ages.
Of the three Tokai prefectures (Aichi, Gifu, and Mie), Seto and Tokoname are known as Japan’s leading pottery regions because of the high-quality porcelain clay they produce.
The “UTSUWATO KURASHI ICHI ” aims to let more people know about the appeal of the pottery from the three Tokai prefectures and to encourage people to touch and use it more often on a daily basis.
Please look forward to encountering wonderful ceramics at this event.
