Tottori Iwami-gun Iwamicho Iwai 319

This small shop selling traditional wooden folk toys is located 38 minutes from the Tottori Interchange on the Tottori Expressway. The store's origins date back some 200 years when carpenter Ogura Sahei began using woodturning to create carved wooden goods. The wooden Chinese zodiac figurines which continue to be created by the current eighth generation Ogura family carver are one of Tottori Prefecture's most well-known craft items. The figurines are made by carving out the shape using woodturning and then adding color using distemper paints, resulting in a simple yet fresh and novel appearance. In 1964 and 2015, the shop's figurines were depicted as designs on New Year's postcard stamps, and in 1978 then-crown Mihiko bought the full set of figurines from the shop as a souveior to her daughter, Norinomiya. Renowned across the country, people come here seeking to purchase a full set to take home or give as a souvenir.

Tottori Iwami-gun Iwamicho Mana 1064-2

This shop, located an eight-minute drive from Iwami Station on the JR San-in Main Line , sells Mana ware, a type of pottery with a charming texture and appearance made with local clay. Examples of Mana ware are displayed in the shop's studio and gallery; Mana ware making activities, taught by director Isao Nanba, are also held here. The classes make use of clay gathered from local fallow fields, and the pieces participants make are fired in a handmade kiln using kindling gathered from the surrounding mountains; during the roughly two hour activity, participants can make several teacups or plates. Class participants can also enjoy using pine ash and silver powder to paint and decorate Mana ware in their own original style. Pieces made by class participants take around one to three months to complete and can be received by mail or directly from the shop.
