Takatori Pottery Festival
Last Updated on March 27, 2025
Event Overview
Takatori pottery, a form of traditional ceramic ware with historical roots traced back to the 16th century, was introduced to the region of Fukuoka by skilled Korean potters.
This particular style of pottery is widely recognized and appreciated for its unique aesthetic characteristics, which encompass a range of qualities.
These qualities include the creation of rustic shapes, the incorporation of rough textures, and the utilization of earthy tones in the finished products.
For individuals who wish to personally experience and explore the artistry of Takatori ware, a highly recommended avenue is to attend the annual Takatori Pottery Festival, an event that has been consistently held for a duration exceeding six decades.
The event takes place at multiple venues across the city as follows:
- Eimanji Kiln
- Takatori Pottery Workshop Hiromitsu Sueyoshi
- Fukuchiyamaroku Flower Park
A significant and compelling aspect of this festival is the opportunity it provides to purchase Takatori ware at a considerable financial advantage, as all products available for sale are offered at a 20% reduction from their standard retail prices.
