About Mashiko-yaki ↓ It is said to have begun in the late Edo period when Keizaburo Otsuka, who trained in Kasama, built a kiln. Due to the production of high-quality clay and its proximity to Tokyo, a large market, it mainly produced daily necessities such as bowls, water jars, and teapots. In 1924, Shoji Hamada, a potter and a central figure in the Mingei movement, moved to Mashiko and began making pottery. He applied techniques learned from Bernard Leach and Tsuboya-yaki in Okinawa, and produced highly artistic pottery. Since then, Hamada-style Mashiko-yaki has dominated.
