Daisuke Michigami, a roofer who has inherited the family business (president of Daiei Ceramics), continues to take on the "indefatigable challenge" of unraveling the "wisdom," "skills," and "teachings" of his predecessors that are embedded in each and every "Awaji tile," a traditional industry that has a history of 400 years, and passing them on to the future. What is the reason for continuing to take on new challenges? We will get to the bottom of the secret. Daisuke Michigami, a roofer, will talk about the charm of "tiles" created by the soil of Awaji over time, the thoughts he puts into making each and every tile, the scenery created by the layers of "tiles," and his commitment to the "beauty" of Japanese architecture, all at "Gallery Doza," a space completely wrapped in soil and tiles. Awaji tiles were hit hard by the unfounded rumor that "the damage caused by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake was so great because the roofs were tiled." Even in an environment where the survival of Awaji tiles is still in doubt, Michigami has found great potential in "Ginfurubi" (tiles that are new yet somehow nostalgic, baked to a vintage, antique texture), and has been bringing out new charms of Awaji tiles that are different from anything that has come before. Now that his thoughts have taken shape, tiles are connecting people with each other, and Japan's good old traditional beauty is being reevaluated. Tile maker Michigami Daisuke's "insatiable challenge" will continue. After listening to his story, you can enjoy a space surrounded by earth and tiles that you would never believe is inside a tile factory, a view of the townscape that has flourished due to tile production since the Edo period, and Michigami's passion for "beauty" at "Gallery Doza," where you can feel Michigami's passion for "beauty." You can pretend to be a tile craftsman and try making your own "one-of-a-kind tile coaster," one of the new possibilities of tiles. You can choose from a variety of Japanese pattern designs that are prepared in advance, as well as original designs. Try making a rich work full of your sensibility. Experience schedule9:00~ (20 minutes) Message from tile maker Daisuke Michigami (President of Daiei Ceramics Co., Ltd.) - "Creating the future of tiles" - He will talk while showing slides at [Gallery Doza].9:20~11:20 Experience making your own original tile coaster that is one of a kind in the world *You can start at any time between 9:00 and 14:00.

"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.
