Takahama City in Aichi Prefecture is a major center of production for Sanshu roof tiles - in fact, this region produces the highest volume of them in all of Japan. A special exhibition at the Takahama City Yakimono no Sato Kawara Museum looks into the role of soil and fire in the production of these tiles and other pottery pieces, with a range of both functional and aesthetically-inspired items on display.
Alongside the examples of tiles and other pottery pieces in the exhibition, there will be pottery and landscape photography from Koji Nakano to enjoy.
Adult admission to the event is 200 yen.
