Vé di động

The only Kutani ceramic kiln in Kanazawa, opened in 1870 (Meiji 3).

We make ceranics by manual from clay blending, shaping on the wheel to final coloring.

We sell Kutani ware pottery made by our kiln, and also offer studio tours, pottery making and painting workshops.

You can try your hand at the potter's wheel using Kutani ware clay. Kutani ware clay is made from a ceramic stone called "porcelain clay," which is very fine and has a unique texture.

The clay is very fine and has a unique feel to it. Unlike ordinary pottery clay, it can be difficult to work with, but the potter will guide you through the process until the finished product is ready. The finished product will be sent to you in about five months.

Our porcelain pottery...

Our porcelain pottery experience at Kutani Kosen Kiln was one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip to Japan. The studio is tucked away in a beautifully scenic part of Kanazawa, surrounded by charming little streets and close to both the Nishi Chaya and Nagamachi districts. It felt special from the moment we arrived. It ended up being just my partner and me, which made the experience wonderfully personal. We began with a brief but fascinating tour and explanation of the process before spending a full hour on the wheel with constant guidance from the master potter. It was definitely tricky at first, but incredibly fun and so satisfying. We each got to choose one piece to keep (with the option to pay for extras), which the team will dry, glaze, and fire before sending internationally in a few months - we only needed to cover the postage. My partner made a large matcha cup, and I made a small sake cup that I’m very excited to receive. A beautifully intimate, hands-on experience - highly recommended for anyone visiting Kanazawa!
A wonderful experience

I had a wonderful time, since I have not worked with ceramics before I was a bit anxious. But everything was explained step by step. The teacher spoke very good english. And i ended up with pretty decent tea cup.
A must hands on art experience!

This was so much fun! Very thoughtful instruction. Lots of hands on time and a lovely handmade product that is shipped (for a fee) 4 months later. We did with two teenage boys. Highly recommend!!!
We got to be on TV!

The whole experience was fun. They taught us how to properly place our hands so that we didn’t butcher it and made some nice pieces to get mailed to us back home! We even got to be on Japanese TV.
Sports course!

The kiln itself is a beautiful space in a lovely part of Kanazawa. My instructor was very patient and kind while I found my flow. I can't wait to get my creation back and have a lovely reminder of this experience.
