Overview
Even among those who know Kutani Ware as a form of ceramics, few are familiar with the entire process. Futamata Clay Factory is a true pottery lover’s destination: this company produces the specialized clay used by Kutani Ware artisans, starting from large rocks quarried from the Hanasaka Mountains.
This factory has seldom been opened to the public, making this a precious opportunity to see the process of how these rocks are pulverized and turned into the clay that serves as the lifeblood of the local Kutani Ware industry.
