Overview

Small classes in a homey workshop
I also have an exhibition of my work
At first, I was worried whether everyone could make it
However, anyone can easily make Onigawara.

Itinerary

To celebrate our opening, we are currently offering a special discount price.

We accept groups of 5 or more people.
Up to 40 people
For groups, the location will change.

In this experience, we will explore the history of Kawara—the traditional roof tiles of Japan. Typically featuring a design with the fearless faces of ogres and gargoyles, these carved tiles found at the ends of the main roof ridge have been protecting the roofs of Japanese buildings from evil, and rainwater, since ancient times. I will teach you how to make a small, simple Onigawara tile with this type of demon face. You can make a simple handmade course. After making Onigawara, I will fire the Onigawara tile in a kiln at the factory. Japan tile production has modernized over the years, but wouldn't you like to make an ogre tile the way they did in the past?

Originally, Onigawara is difficult
By my own developed procedure

We had a fun time making onigawara! It was a creative and fun way to spend a few hours. It was a nice small group activity and was a nice break from walking everywhere. Once your creatures are done, it takes several days to bake and cure. They ship the pottery to your homes after that is done, so bring some cash to pay for shipping. Would highly recommend doing this! Would definitely do it again!

Amazing hands-on experience and family memories that will last a lifetime. The monsters we created will become family heirlooms and will forever remind us of our trip. Would recommend this activity over any sightseeing option without hesitation

It was an amazing class. We had a nice chat about Onigawara and Yuya's work while doing our own. Yuya was so patient and kind when he explained us each step. I have never done pottery before and am so happy how mine turned out. It is absolutely a highlight of my travel to Japan and I can only recommend it.
