About the Activity

You will get an up close look at the production process of Kakiemon style ceramics, which feature the "Akae" (red overglaze enameling) technique developed by the first Kakiemon, Sakaita Kakiemon, and the milky white "Nigote" porcelain body. The sight of skilled potters and painters carefully creating works of art is a perfect example of the fusion of tradition and innovation. In addition, you will be treated to tea and sweets served in the pottery of the kiln. The general manager will explain the history and culture of the Kakiemon style, and you will gain a deep understanding and be moved by the content.
