"Toki, Pottery by Kiln Owners ~Mino Ware Okami Juku Exhibition~" at Kotomonimichi at TOKYO, Aoyama
Coto Mono Michi at TOKYO, located in Aoyama, Tokyo, and operated by Cement Produce Design Inc., will host the exhibition "Toki, Pottery by Kiln Owners ~Mino Ware Okami Juku Exhibition~" from Tuesday, May 16th to Tuesday, June 6th. The "Mino Ware Okami Juku" is an initiative where women working at pottery kilns share the appeal of Mino Ware and ceramics from a unique female perspective. For this exhibition, they have personally planned and are selling products to convey the new charm of Mino Ware.
On Saturday, May 20th and Sunday, May 21st, events will include a workshop on creating accessories from a rare type of pottery called 'seiseki' (stoneware), led by Ms. Shirato from the Toki Ceramic Research Institute, and the highly popular "Aoyama Pottery Market" from last year. Visitors can immerse themselves in the allure of pottery by experiencing firsthand the various tableware and accessories created by the kiln owners.
