Gallery YASUO

A 10-minute walk from Shigaraki Kohgen Railway Shigaraki Station. This gallery, situated along National Route 307, is operated by Yasubeigama, a family-owned pottery studio now in its fifth generation. The gallery is filled with pieces by father Yasumasa Okuda and his sons Yasuyuki and Masamichi. The pieces on display span everything from old-fashioned Ko-Shigaraki ware to modern styles and primarily consist of tableware as well as flower vases and donabe earthenware pots. The gallery's selection includes plates, cups, and other tableware made using a unique glaze developed by Yasumasa and created in a distinctive, modern style which is not bound by the traditional conventions of Shigaraki ware. Perfect for setting off cuisine, many restaurants order their tableware from the gallery.
