[Mashiko Ceramic Art Museum/Mashiko Ceramic Art Messe, Tochigi]

#FuriTabiWinter "Kasamashiko" certified as a Japanese Heritage Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture, and Mashiko Town, Tochigi Prefecture, which are leading pottery-producing areas in eastern Japan, have been in the same cultural sphere since ancient times due to their pottery industry and rulers. Today, there are over 600 active potters. The Mashiko Ceramic Art Museum exhibits works by Living National Treasures Shoji Hamada and Tatsuzo Shimaoka. In addition, the thatched mansion built in the late Edo period where Shoji Hamada lived has been relocated and opened to the public. The climbing kiln that he used during his lifetime has been relocated and restored. #TochigiTourism #TochigiTrip #Tochigi #Mashiko #DomesticTrip #GirlsTrip #SoloTrip
