    Hyogo Tamba-Sasayama-shi Kondacho Shimo-tachikui 40
    "Among the many Tamba ware pottery studios in the area, this is the only one to make use of a climbing kiln powered by pine firewood. Operating daily, the studio uses no glazes whatsoever, creating uniquely simple and austerely elegant pieces with natural colorings and deformations which occur during firing. The pine firewood used as fuel for the studio's climbing kiln produces ash which falls on pieces being fired, resulting in natural deformations and color variations called ""Haikaburi."" Each piece is unique, with its own pale colorings and distinctive patterns, and is visually appealing and intriguing no matter what angle it is viewed from. With a reservation, families, friends, or even lone individuals can come here and take part in a pottery experience class and create a one-of-a-kind piece."

    Hyogo Tamba-Sasayama-shi Kondacho Kami-tachikui 396
    This studio produces Tamba ware, counted as one of the six great ancient pottery styles of Japan alongside Seto ware, Shigaraki ware, Echizen ware, Tokoname ware, and Bizen ware. The studio continues to make pieces based on tradition yet incorporating novel new ideas amidst the roughly 60 pottery studios in Tachikui. Using primarily rice bran white and black glazes, the studio's designs are extremely yet have highly different appearances thanks to these glazes, and purchasers can enjoy the differing charms of each piece depending on the angle it is viewed from. Many of the studio's black-glazed rectangular plates, saucers, chamfered yunomi teacups, pitchers, and other pieces can be used as part of everyday life.

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
