A Quiet Day at Shigaraki | Spring Drive to Japan's Ancient Pottery Town

A quiet spring drive to Shigaraki, one of Japan's oldest pottery towns. A slow day among tanuki statues and handmade ceramics. A quiet place in Japan for tired minds. Slow days. Quiet nights. Real life in Japan. Thank you for watching this video! A quiet day trip from Kansai to Shigaraki — Japan's pottery town in Shiga. I spent a calm spring day at Shigaraki Sakka-ichi (信楽作家市), an outdoor ceramic artists' market held in the heart of one of Japan's six ancient kiln towns. Wandering through tents, indoor galleries, and food trucks, surrounded by the warmth of handmade ceramics and the watchful tanuki of Shigaraki.
