Hiyono Sato Okuwatayama

The secret kiln village of Okawauchi-yama is located in Imari City, Saga Prefecture, and was known during the Edo period as the official kiln of the Nabeshima family of the Saga domain. This area is surrounded by steep mountains and is where the highly secretive "Nabeshima ware" was produced. To prevent technology leaks, barrier gates were established, severely restricting access from the outside. Today, several potteries continue to inherit traditional techniques and preserve the beauty of Nabeshima ware. Highlights also include the "Nabeshima Domain Kiln Park," where historical kiln sites and potters' houses have been recreated, and the "Meotoshi no Tō," known for its beautiful sounds produced by wind chimes.
