    会津本郷陶磁器会館でいろいろな窯元の作品を見てからこの流紋焼窯元に行くことを決めました。寒色系の色調に惹かれます。特に緑色と紺色系の発色が素晴らしいです。しかもこちらは磁器になります。器と器が当たった時に金属系の高い音が出ます。釉ののり方も好きで、常に普段使いで器を求めるのでズバリ決まりです。工場内はすべてを見学でき、細やかな作品作りの精神が伝わってきました。

    Fukushima Pref. Aiduwakamatsushi Mondenmachichinoseki Aizu Lacquer Industrial Park 1943-4
    A one-minute walk from the Aizu Bus Kogyodanchiiriguchi bus stop. This studio is the only one in the country which carries only wooden lacquerware. Aizu lacquerware developed in large part thanks to the Gamo Ujisato, lord of Aizu, supporting it as a local industry in 1590. The Aizu lacquerware industry fell into decline for a time after the Boshin War, but today this lacquerware studio continues to preserve the traditions of the craft while also promoting its evolution in line with the times. As the establishment sells its wares directly, visitors can purchase pieces such as lacquered soup bowls at low prices. The studio also offers a lacquerware repair service. In addition, the studio offers tours which enable participants to watch lacquerware artisans at work up close, and maki-e gold and silver lacquerware painting experiences in which participants can decorate and take home an exquisite piece of maki-e lacquerware the same day.

    "This is the only kiln in Aizu Wakamatsu. It is said that in 1592, Ujisato Gamo, the lord of the Aizu domain at that time, invited a potter from Karatsu in Hizen (now Saga and Nagasaki Prefecture) to make roofing tiles for Tsuruga Castle and had him fire the tiles here. It is called ""Aizu Keizan ware"" and continues to make until today. After that, he fired melting pots for silver mines in Aizu Karuizawa (today's Yanaizu Town) and kiln flourished, but there is only one kiln at present. Pottery works made using a traditional potter's wheel or formed by hand, and pieces made with the ""tatara"" (slab-building) technique are well known for their natural beauty and warmth."
