Mr.

Our team visited Mr.Shirakara, the potter in the interview, and The number of young potters is increasing in Tobe. Tobe potteries will have not only the tradition of it but also a sense of young potters and grow more and more. I would like to let people of the world know good points of it.

I think Tobe-Yaki is more popular among all over the world from now on. Because Tobe town has a lot of wonderful potters and hopeful pupils. Theywill establish their own style about Tobe pottery. And people will have an interest in Tobe-Yaki pottery itself as well as their own works. Tobe-Yaki is also familiar to local people's life. It is easy for us to get Tobe pottery. And Tobe town give priority to making environment that people can feel sense of closeness to Tobe-Yaki pottery. Tourists can make their own rice bowls and caps. That is why I think Tobe-Yaki is more popular among all over the world.
