Ogama
提供 Ogama
Ogama, a place that creates lifestyle and culture through ceramics, conveying and sharing the richness of our times.
Japan's traditional craftsmanship has been passed down to the present day not merely by preserving the old, but by constantly incorporating the novelty of each era. As pottery makers, we cherish the spirit of working with clay, an ancient material, while proposing objects and experiences that align with contemporary sensibilities.
At Ogama, we embody the above philosophy through three services: the shop, pottery experiences, and accommodation. The pottery experiences allow you to feel the clay from which Shigaraki-yaki ceramics are made, while the accommodation gives you the chance to experience life surrounded by Shigaraki pottery. The adjacent shop allows you to purchase any pieces you liked during your stay, making this a facility where you can experience Shigaraki ceramics with all five senses.
