Let's enjoy Nasu with Kaori! Welcome to "Kame Kobo", a pottery studio where you make plates and cups on an electric wheel.

Kame Kobo

亀工房1
I visit Kame Kobo, a studio famous for its electric pottery wheel class.
I have always wanted to try an electric wheel at least once. I wonder how it feels.
The classroom is a small log cabin in the garden. Each group uses it privately, so you can focus on your work.
You learn the basic way to handle clay and then try making your own pottery.

▼ Kaori's Report

亀工房1

I arrive at Kame Kobo, which is known for its fun electric wheel class.
I have always wanted to try it at least once.
I wonder what the experience will be like.

亀工房2

The classroom is a small log cabin in the garden.
Because one group uses it at a time, you can concentrate well on your work.

亀工房3

First, we receive a lesson on the basic way to handle clay.
The instructor, Mr. Kitagawa, explains in a very humorous way, and I listen with a smile.

亀工房4

Then we finally start making our pieces.
I wonder if I can make something well.

亀工房5

Look, it looks quite good, doesn’t it?
Once I get used to it, the feeling of the clay changing shape in my hands is very pleasant.
I forget about the time and focus only on making my piece.


(Kaori's Highlights)

Pottery has a charm that can make you want to do it again, because the feel of the clay in your hands is very pleasant.
Mr. Kitagawa at Kame Kobo is a teacher who encourages you by giving praise.
He often says, “That is good,” “As expected,” or “You have talent,” so you can enjoy the class with confidence.
His stories are also fun, and they make you want to visit again.
Even if you make some mistakes, he fixes them before firing, so you can relax and enjoy the process.
I recommend starting the pottery experience in the late afternoon during the warm season.
As the sun sets, you can also enjoy the quiet night air that is special to Nasu.
In the darkness, you may feel your focus on pottery grow deeper, and sometimes beetles fly to the nearby trees.
