Mashiko
Mashiko is famous for its pottery, known as Mashiko yaki (益子焼). Mashiko is the site of Saimyoji temple, one of the oldest temples in Tochigi prefecture, and the shrine of the Utsunomiya han, located in Kami-Obaa. Large noborigama kilns were first founded there in 1853, by immigrant potters from the neighboring pottery community Kasama in Ibaraki prefecture. Simple and rustic in style, the main glazes are a clear wood ash glaze, a white rice husk ash glaze, black and kaki (persimmon), sometimes decorated with enamel red, yellow and green. These are worlds apart from the courtly ceramics of Kyoto but yet very Japanese. Pottery has been made since Jomon times (over 10,000 years ago) in Mashiko, but modern Mashiko yaki dates only to 1853. The style was popularized by the potter Shoji Hamada. He was designated as NINGEN KOKUHO (Living National Treasure) in 1955. Because of Hamada, Mashiko yaki has been viewed as a good example of Mingei (Folkcraft) pottery.
Mashiko 益子 is a town located in the south east area of Tochigi prefecture, approximately 140km away from the central Tokyo. Producing quality clay, Mashiko has developed as a pottery town known for Mashiko-yaki pottery, where many potters have studios and many kinds of potteries are sold at stores. The number of the pottery studios and the stores reaches nearly 350 in all.
Since 1966, Mashiko Pottery Market is held twice a year, for about 10 days in spring, and 4 or 5 days in autumn. Not only from Mashiko town, pottery artists and venders from all over Japan also join the market to sell various potteries. This popular market is so large that it will take one day to look around all the stalls there. It is recommended to visit early in the morning (It starts at 9:00AM) as it also gets crowded in the afternoon. During the 11-day event in spring 2014, more than 400,000 people visited the market.
While staying with a Japanese family, having dinner together at their house, you will soon notice that the Japanese has her/his own chopsticks and rice bowl (Ochawan), and it is almost like a taboo to use those of others, even people in the family. It seems Japanese people have a strong attachment for their own everyday dinnerware. Whatever else it might be, finding a very favorite ones at pottery markets is an attraction for Japanese people, and it will of course be a fun for anybody.

Tokiichi Mashiko Spring 2018
Mashiko, Japan, is a pastoral town on the edge of the mountains that skirt the northern edge of the Kanto Plain. It's about 100km north of Tokyo. It is famous for it's beautiful robust pottery. Every year there are 2 pottery festivals held. This is footage from the 2018 spring event.
If you live in Tokyo I highly recommend the visit up. You can come by bus tour or take the train up though this is a little more difficult. It is a beautiful old-fashioned Japanese town with lots of treasures waiting to be discovered.
If you are visiting Japan from abroad and wish to have an authentic Japanese experience then look no further than Mashiko. It doesn't get more authentic than this.

Travelogue in Japan, Mashiko, Yamani Otsuka, volume 13
Our trip to the old pottery village.. driving through the towns...
Mashikoyaki, Yamani Otsuka:
Mashiko Area
The renowned pottery production center which features an astounding 380 different styles.
Mashiko is located in the southeastern part of Tochigi, and it falls in the Prefectural Nature Park which spreads across the northern reaches of the Kanto Plain. The town is known throughout Japan and the world as a production center of pottery.
The origin of Mashiko ceramics can be traced to the middle of the 19th century when Keizaburo Otsuka found potter's clay at Otsusawa and built a kiln to fire it. At the beginning of the 20th century, ceramist Shoji Hamada also built a kiln in Mashiko. The number of potters in Mashiko has been increasing ever since, and it now amounts to 380. Ceramics fairs are held every spring and autumn, attracting visitors numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
At Ceramic Art Messe Mashiko, a pottery theme park, you can enjoy exhibitions of works by Shoji Hamada as well as those of modern ceramists. There is a pottery studio on-site where you can try your hand at sculpting and painting pottery yourself. In Mashiko Sanko-kan, a museum celebrating the life and work of Hamada, you can see items ranging from his ceramic works, the kiln he used, the house he lived in, as well as works created by him and his associates.
Mashiko
Mashiko Toukiichi 益子陶器市 is one of the largest pottery market held in Mashiko in Tochigi prefecture, famous for its pottery Mashiko-yaki.
