Best timing

September to November. Build the trip around ceramics and lacquerware that can be used for tea, rice, soup, and seasonal dishes.

How to plan it

  • Autumn kiln markets
  • Tea bowl and sake ware stops
  • Lacquerware towns before winter

Start from the related craft type listings, then choose nearby regional pages once the weather and travel dates are fixed.

See the art context too

Connect craft regions and techniques with contemporary art, museums, and galleries.
