Ogaku Pottery

This pottery located in the foothills of Sakurajima, the symbol of Kagoshima, creates Sakurajima ware. The pottery, which originally started out making white Satsuma ware, is notable for being operated entirely by women. Sakurajima ware is an original style of pottery made with Sakurajima's volcanic ash and hot spring water. Mixing volcanic ash with hot spring water that has a deep red color due to its high iron content gives Sakurajima ware a subdued elegance and a silver luster. The pottery also offers art workshops using Sakurajima's volcanic ash (reservation required).
