Tokoname is recognized as one of the six ancient kilns of Japan, with a ceramic history which spans over a thousand years.
The main ceramic productions are/were pipes, tiles, tea pots, and of course BONSAI POTS.
Thought I was Tokoname several times on a business trip, I have never enjoyed the sightseeing.
This time I could hit some sights that were very Tokoname.
 |
| This is the very Tokoname view,the black walls of houses and factories.To keep termites, the walls are burned and painted with a tar to preserve the wood. |
 |
| An chimney of old kiln closed. |
 |
| My most favorite view of Tokoname. Just like a bonsai. A tree growing to that size on top of a kiln chimney. |
 |
| The ceramic pipes were one of a main products of Tokoname. |
 |
| The bonsai potter Hidemi Kataoka / Shuuhou |
 |
| There are many molds in Hidemi's wokshop. |
Visit YUKIMONO store, and you can see many Hidemi Kataoka/Shuuhou bonsai pots.
Thank you!
