The kiln was opened in 1992 inside the Yachimun-no-Sato at Yomitan Village in the middle of Okinawa main island. It is overseen by four independent masters and its thirteen chambers are lit five times a year. Apprentices from around Japan gather here to make clay, mix glazes and fire ceramic wares, handling every process themselves.

"Day-to-day movie heaven and earth."
