The story

Ninety minutes at the wheel in a real working studio, with your host translating the potter's advice. Your bowl is glazed and fired after you leave, and it arrives at your home about two months later: a souvenir that keeps arriving.

Sit at an electric wheel in the pottery workshop at Takumi-shuku in Mariko, with a potter to guide your hands. The workshop glazes and fires your piece, and it's ready about two months later; ask us about getting it to you. It pairs well with the Shizuoka history day.
