VILLAGE Report #Mashiko Ware

A climbing kiln in Mashiko

VILLAGE Report vol.9 Tochigi Prefecture | Mashiko Ware, Mingei Vessels That Preserve the Feel of Clay

Mashiko Ware began in 1853, when Keizaburo Otsuka built a kiln. From the relocation of Shoji Hamada, who made pottery in St Ives, England, to its 1979 traditional craft designation and the pottery fair continuing since 1966, we read from Tochigi Prefecture and Mashiko Town materials.
