With over 420 years of history, Agano ware is one of Chikuho’s signature ceramics, deeply shaped by tea culture and the spirit of wabi-sabi. In this annual spring pottery fair, all nine Agano kilns open at once, offering a wide range of pieces at special prices at the main venue and each kiln studio.
Date
Fri, Apr 24
Venue
Programs include a reserved tea session pairing Taiwanese tea with Agano ware, plus themed experiences such as ochoko cups and craft sake that suggest new ways to use the pottery. To explore the quiet mountain village where Agano ware is made, a free shuttle bus runs from Heisei Chikuho Railway’s Akaike Station to the main venue and participating kilns.
