The birthplace of Nabeshima clan kilns. Over 30 pottery studios line the streets
Okawachiyama flourished as the home of Nabeshima clan kilns.
In over 30 pottery studios nestled in the valley, artisans continue to work their wheels and apply glazes today. Since the Edo period, they have produced fine Imari ware and Nabeshima ware that endures to the present.
