"Takahama Ware Juho Kiln" is a kiln that plays a part in the history of the Ueda family, which has served as a headman in this area for generations.

It was once said to be a "town covered with grapes", but although it was once on the verge of extinction, it has been revived thanks to the efforts of the local promotion association, and now you can see the scenery of the vineyards here and there in the area. Speaking of "Takahama Yaki Juyoshi Kiln", the "Mirumon" patterned with seaweed is well known, but the history of Takahama is also alive in the painting of grapes. By the time of the autumn kiln tour, the grape harvest is already over, but it is also a pleasure to look at the grape designs on the vessels and think about the history of this land.

Authentic pottery making activities began in 2006 (Heisei 18). In this interview, Mr. Hayashida, the owner of the Workshop, showed us one of the techniques called "string making" that does not use a potter's wheel. "String-making" is a method of stacking clay in the form of strings and shaping them. Mr. Hayashida skillfully strings the "black mud soil" and piles it up in a relaxed manner. The scene is as if time is streaming peacefully, and just looking at it soothes my heart. When firing vessels by carbonization firing, in order to take advantage of the Nature shades created by the way the flame hits, no glaze is applied to the outside to bring out the original Texture/character of the soil. The inside is covered with a "transparent glaze" to achieve ease of use that is close to daily life. It has a rustic and unpretentious appearance. During the period, in addition to dragonfly bamboo crafts and woodwork, handmade sweets, bread and jam will be sold. 📍 Workshop style 〒863-2503 Kumamoto Prefecture Amakusa District Reihoku Town Shiki 2915 TEL:0969-35-2041 ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 【 The 36th Amakusa Saikai 🍁 Autumn Kiln Tour 】 【Period】October 9 (Thu) ~ October 13 (Mon/Holiday) 8:30 a.m. ~ 5 p.m. 【Venue】 〈Reihoku〉Uchida Plateyama ware, Workshop style, Yugen kiln, Unshu kiln (*Tenzhu kiln did not participate) 〈Amakusa City〉Takahama Yakijuyoshi Kiln, Amakusa Karatsu Township Mountain Turtle Kiln (Juro Kiln) 🍁 Two Stamp Rallies Held in at the Same Time! * Digital Stamp Rally📱 for Kumamoto Health Point Subject Business * Stamp rally to win the products of the desired kiln (application form is Located in at 📃 each kiln) 【Contact】Amakusa Porcelain stone R&D Promotion Council Secretariat (Reihoku Town hall Commerce, Industry and Tourism Division) TEL：0969-35-3332
