Ikushigama
You’ll find this small pottery workshop in Tobe Town, Iyo County, Ehime Prefecture. It specializes in the traditional form of pottery known as “Tobe-yaki.” Tobe-yaki is known for being sturdy and handy and its indigo and white dye. This porcelain used to enjoy widespread daily use in the past. The gallery features works made via the “panel alignment” method by Chiyoko Nishiyama, in which several parts are combined like patchwork, as well as elegant vessels made by Kan Nishiyama with techniques used to fashion blade ridges. There are also cute bird-patterned works by Mikiko Hashimoto along with many others. Call in advance to schedule a tour.
