3 recommended plans for "Mashiko-yaki experience" made in Mashiko Town, Tochigi Prefecture! An abundant course such as electric potter's wheel and hand-bending is attractive!
Hello to all of you who are viewing the Activity Japan blog! As Shiki Masaoka and Soseki Natsume wrote haiku, "Long nights and going outside the shoji screen" and "Akari the moon, which is a long night when I think it's dawn", autumn is easy to spend long nights, and it gives me inspiration and motivation to create. It is also a rising season. Maybe some people consciously enjoy reading, watching movies, and listening to music. I personally recommend museums and museums on Fridays. Depending on the facility, it is often open until about 8 pm, so you can enjoy art comfortably at the end of work ♪
Therefore, an activity that is perfect for those who want to fully enjoy the autumn of art and those who are creative.

I would like to introduce you to the plan. There are many pottery producing areas all over Japan, but I paid attention to the pottery "Mashiko Yaki" in Tochigi prefecture, which is still popular in the Kanto region. Here are 3 recommended experience plans made in Mashiko Town, Tochigi Prefecture, using techniques such as electric potter's wheel and hand-bending.
What is Mashiko Yaki?
Before introducing the plan, I would like to introduce Mashiko ware.
Mashiko ware was built by Keizaburo Otsuka, who trained in Kasama at the end of the Edo period, and developed as a production center for daily tools such as pots, water jars, and clay bottles. Currently, there are about 260 Mashiko pottery. Mashiko has a wide range of generations, from young writers to veteran craftsmen.

Houses are gathered together and their styles are diverse. Mashiko ware has a lot of sand and is characterized by its rugged texture. Since the clay that can be harvested in the prefecture contains a lot of air bubbles, it is not suitable for fine work and it is a thick work, but its simple taste is one of its attractions. A pottery market is also held in spring and autumn, and pottery fans gather from all over the country.
In addition, there are many fashionable shops in Mashiko, such as shops where you can usually shop for Mashiko ware, cafes and restaurants where you can enjoy tea and lunch with cups and plates of Mashiko ware, general stores and antique shops. It is a recommended spot in the fall season where you can experience art while enjoying the autumn leaves. How about a pottery experience in Mashiko? Let's introduce the plan ♪
