"Ko-Iga" is the highest peak of pottery in history, known as "exceptional beauty" in the world of tea ceremony, mainly during the Sengoku period, when Sen no Rikyu, Oda Nobunaga, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi were active, and the Azuchi-Momoyama period. Experience Awaji Iga making, a reproduction of the Ko-Iga making used in tea ceremony at that time, with one-on-one guidance from a craftsman who hand-made the largest six-tiered climbing kiln in Japan. Ko-Iga is fired at the world's highest firing temperature of 1400℃ for several days, which is unparalleled in the world, so the shape is distorted and sometimes it breaks when firewood is repeatedly hit against it, but the absolute presence and scenery that surpasses this are known as exceptional beauty. (*250℃-450℃ in a bonfire, 1500℃ in a blast furnace) Awaji Iga aims to revive Ko-Iga and values the invisible process and value, so it does not use modern tools such as burners and thermometers, or glazes that glassify the surface. During the Sengoku period, wars were taking place all over Japan, but no one really wanted war, and tea ceremonies served as a place for secret talks to avoid war. It is said that Ko-Iga was used as a special tool to hold a special tea ceremony, which could avoid war if successful, or lead to war if unsuccessful. At Tsurugi Kiln, you can experience the revival of Ko-Iga, which was used in tea ceremonies that determined history and people's lives and deaths, and the making of Awaji Iga pottery. *The actual experience is limited to the forming process. During the four days and nights of the kiln firing in February, you can visit the impressive site at any time. Please visit Awaji Island three times to enjoy the forming process, the kiln firing in February, and the collection after April. ■Itinerary 1. Decide what to make 2. Knead the clay 3. Shape, make strings, hand-form, and make balls *The actual experience is limited to the forming process. During the kiln firing in February, you can see the items you made yourself. *As the items are fired once a year during the kiln firing in February, they will be handed over after spring.

It is an experience to make "Zori" which is a traditional footwear. [Snow Country & Rice Grocery/Straw Crafts in Niigata Prefecture] Niigata Prefecture has had a long history of rice cultivation, and various straw crafts using rice straw have been actively carried out. Until 70 to 80 years ago, during the snowy winter months, families made zori sandals using rice straw to earn an income. Nowadays, craftsmen using straw are very rare, and it is rare to see crafts using straw. This kind of experience of actually making sandals has become a rarity, but seeing how the shoes are made by hand in a blink of an eye is a masterpiece. [What you can do in this experience] In this program, you will make such a sandal with a local straw craftsman. You can choose whichever you like, the sandals made from rice straw or the cloth sandals made from colorful cloth. You can choose your favorite cloth for the thongs and cloth sandals from the available cloths, so you can create your own stylish sandals by combining them. The sandals you make can be worn as sandals at the river or the sea in the summer, or you can use them as slippers at home or as interior decoration. How about making an original handmade sandal to commemorate your trip? *Cloth sandals are optional and cost an additional 500 yen. *Only Japanese and English are supported.
