Browse Yachimun no Sato
Yomitan, Japan
Yachimun no Sato is a working pottery village, with workshops, galleries and distinctive red-tiled kilns set among the greenery of Yomitan. Browse slowly to see how individual makers interpret Okinawan forms and patterns, from everyday bowls to more substantial pieces. It is a good place to buy directly and ask about the work. Workshop opening times vary, and hands-on sessions require separate checking rather than an assumption that lessons are always available.
