The only Kutani ceramic kiln in Kanazawa, opened in 1870 (Meiji 3).

We make ceranics by manual from clay blending, shaping on the wheel to final coloring.

We sell Kutani ware pottery made by our kiln, and also offer studio tours, pottery making and painting workshops.

You can try your hand at the potter's wheel using Kutani ware clay. Kutani ware clay is made from a ceramic stone called "porcelain clay," which is very fine and has a unique texture.

The clay is very fine and has a unique feel to it. Unlike ordinary pottery clay, it can be difficult to work with, but the potter will guide you through the process until the finished product is ready. The finished product will be sent to you in about five months.

    This was so much fun! Very thoughtful instruction. Lots of hands on time and a lovely handmade product that is shipped (for a fee) 4 months later. We did with two teenage boys. Highly recommend!!!

  • We got to be on TV!

    The whole experience was fun. They taught us how to properly place our hands so that we didn’t butcher it and made some nice pieces to get mailed to us back home! We even got to be on Japanese TV.

  • Great way to spend some time

    The kiln itself is a beautiful space in a lovely part of Kanazawa. My instructor was very patient and kind while I found my flow. I can't wait to get my creation back and have a lovely reminder of this experience.
