I visited Kenji Kiln who produces pottery by the one of most traditional technique of Nerikomi(kneading) method. Nerikomi method is making pottery by potter’s wheel using clay with several kinds of colors. Through this procedure, it makes natural twist and never repeatable pattern. After making shape by kneading clay, carve polka dots by chisel by one by one. Harmony between traditional technique and modern design creates exclusive teapot and tea equipment. Please take watch partial procedure. I visited Tokoname with overseas guest. Once you are in Japan and wishing to visit production center of pottery or traditional handicraft, please inform us. We can guide you to there. Please contact us for possibility.
