Mori Pottery, a pottery representative of Otani ware
Otani ware, which originated in Oasacho, Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture, is a traditional pottery with a history of approximately 240 years. It has been designated as a national traditional craft. In the past, many large water jars and pots were made, and they were shaped using a unique technique called "nekase-yaki."
Mori Pottery, located in Oasa Town, the birthplace of Otani ware, has a particularly eye-catching climbing kiln that is a nationally registered tangible cultural property. Here, surrounded by nature in all four seasons, each piece of pottery is carefully handcrafted.
