About the style and atmosphere

Onta-yaki is characterized by its unique geometric patterns created by traditional techniques such as ``Hake-me'', ``Tobi-plane'', and ``Kushi-daki''. Nowadays, it is gaining popularity due to its traditional yet somewhat modern design. It is a pottery that naturally blends into modern life while retaining its old-fashioned, rustic charm. Because each item is handmade, some items may look like the ones in the photo. Differences in color, uneven color, and sagging that occur by chance due to firing or hand-shaping create a unique texture unique to pottery. Enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter, as no two items are the same. ■You can also view Ontayaki pottery here. Please find your favorite. Ontayaki list page a>
