[Tochigi] Mashiko Pottery Street, Jonaizaka: Recommended Shop #1: "Touko"

Mashiko ware has been popular for daily use since the kilns were built at the end of the Edo period. The main street of Mashiko Town, "Jounaizaka", is lined with stylish Mashiko ware galleries and shops. There are so many that it's hard to know which shop to go to, so we'll introduce some recommended shops♬ ◆ "Pottery Gallery Touko" The interior has a calm atmosphere. Touko, which uses an ivy-covered Oya stone rice storehouse and a Taisho-era merchant house as its store, is celebrating its 48th year since its founding. The back of the store is an exhibition like a museum, and it's fun just to look at it! You can take your time to look at the works of artists active in Mashiko. 📍Jounaizaka 2, Mashiko-cho, Haga-gun, Tochigi Prefecture #Pottery #Gallery #TochigiTrip #trip2022
