Iwami Ware
Simple and powerful large water jars: that is the origin of the pottery representing the Iwami region. Iwami Ware is pottery that has been passed down since the Edo period, centered around Gotsu City. Utilizing high-quality local clay, during the Meiji era, large jars called 'Handou' used for storing water were shipped nationwide via Kitamaebune ships, and at its peak, over a hundred kilns were in operation. The charm lies in the flavorful colors produced by the glaze, such as the deep amber color of the Kimimachi glaze. In 2014, it was designated as a National Traditional Craft. Currently, a wide variety of vessels that accompany daily life, such as tableware, flower vases, and umbrella stands, are being made. With excellent water and salt resistance, it is a reliable type of pottery that grows more beloved the longer you use it.
