Kutani Kiln Ruins Exhibition Hall 九谷焼窯跡展示館

The climbing kiln of the old Yoshidagama is still in place, a national Historic Site.

Kutani-yaki was born in the seventeenth century in the village of Kutani, but production stopped after about a century; it was the Yoshidagama kiln, active here in Yamashiro Onsen in the nineteenth century, that revived the technique and gave rise to modern production. The kiln ruins, excavated and made safe, are now protected as a national Historic Site.
