The reason I've been making Agano ware for decades is because it's fun to make.
The reason I keep doing it is because I want to make better things.
When you open the lid of the kiln and see a result that exceeds your expectations,
I also liked it, and when the customer saw it and said, "This is good."
More than anything else, it is a rewarding and happy moment.
There are various types of Agano ware glaze, such as green, red, and white, so you can enjoy various works.
While cherishing the history of over 400 years, each pottery is working to create something new.
