Frommer's Review
This showroom specializes in tableware, though there are some decorative items. Seconds are also on sale. If you avoid the noon to 1pm lunch break, you can watch the many steps of celadon making. Craftspeople, all trained at this kiln, work in open wood sheds to prepare the clay, shape it on a potter's wheel (or mold pieces that cannot be hand-sculpted), incise it with traditional patterns, and leave it to dry. Within a few days, preliminary firing prepares the clay for the lustrous greenish glaze that marks it as celadon.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
