By Made by Japan Editorial
What to focus on
Compare porcelain, tea ware, and folk pottery in one region instead of treating ceramics as one category.
Suggested route
- Arita porcelain streets
- Imari and Karatsu surfaces
- Onta or another rural pottery village
Use the kyushu craft directory with the craft type listings to compare nearby traditions before finalizing the route.
See the art context too
Connect craft regions and techniques with contemporary art, museums, and galleries.
