Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Nomachi 5-3-3

This is a long-established store continuing since 1870, located at the “Kutani-yaki” pottery, a craft representative of Ishikawa Prefecture. All the work is completed by hand from molding the clay to the first kiln, second firing and decorating with glaze, and the techniques of old Kokutani and revived Kutani continued to be protected even today. In addition to being able to see the manufacturing process in the workshop, visitors are able to experience painting a design to make their very own original piece. There is an exhibition room with a variety of kiln artwork, and pieces from traditional style to those of everyday use are for sale. The nearest station is Nomachi Station.

Noting to see or do there. Only a few expensive poteries. We were not invited to visit. There was only one employee in the store

This pottery studio produces Kutani ware, one of Ishikawa Prefecture’s most well-known traditional crafts. The studio primarily makes and sells decorative art and tableware for special occasions as well as everyday meals. Established in 1879, the studio offers classical yet fresh Kutani ware which is decorated in deep, vivid indigo blues and the traditional five colors (blue, yellow, violet, ultramarine, and red) of Kutani ware.

Ishikawa Areas

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
