With a history of 1400 years, tiles have protected Japanese houses, including shrines and temples. Among them, there are "Onishi" who have the skills of a master craftsman who draws a blueprint in his head while looking at the drawing with his own eyes without using blueprints or molds, and finishes it only with the sense of his fingertips and a handmade spatula. You can make a one-of-a-kind oni tile by learning from an "Onishi" how to make oni tile by hand using "name-do" soil that is more than 2 million years old. Awaji Island is one of the three major production areas of tiles in Japan, and is the number one producer of smoked tiles that shine with "silver". Tiles have a history of more than 1400 years, and tile making has been going on in Awaji Island for more than 400 years. Moreover, the soil used for Awaji tiles is still more than 2 million years old, and the very fine particles of "name-do" are used to create smoked tiles that shine with a beautiful silver color by baking (smoking) them in a kiln. In Japan, onigawara tiles have been used to decorate roofs as a talisman since ancient times. Even today, these onigawara tiles are carefully handcrafted by oni-shi (demon craftsmen) without the use of machines. Normally, you don't get to see onigawara tiles being made, but in this experience, you can watch the onigawara craftsmen's skills up close and make onigawara tiles together. Since this experience is limited to one group, you can make onigawara tiles without worrying about other people. If you have any questions or questions about how to make them, you can ask the onigawara maker at any time, and it is an experience where you can experience traditional techniques in a private atmosphere. [Procedure] 1. Draw a rough sketch of the image (you can also bring a draft with you) 2. Decide on the design of the onigawara tile 3. Together with the onigawara maker, use tile clay (nametsu) to create a rough shape 4. Let it cure (eat lunch (each person) during this time) 5. Finish the fine details using a spatula and your fingertips 6. Completed (you can also take a commemorative photo with the onigawara maker) *The work will then be carefully dried and fired and delivered in about two months. *For lunch, you can enjoy Awaji Island's specialty "Kawara-yaki" at the facility (additional charge required).
