Held across an area dotted with approximately 50 kilns, the event reflects two ceramic traditions: Koishiwara ware, known for everyday tableware, and Takatori ware, which developed as tea ceramics.<br \/>\nDuring the fair, each kiln presents new works, and a wide range of pieces\u2014from practical daily-use vessels to one-of-a-kind items\u2014are available at special prices. Visiting the kilns and galleries also offers a chance to experience the village landscape, with its terraced rice fields and thatched-roof houses. A free shuttle bus runs from JR Hikosan Station to Gallery Koishiwara during the event.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/fn_koishiwara-spring-pottery-festival_2023_cl-002.jpg?resize=1400%2C933&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Koishiwara Spring Pottery Festival, \u6625\u306e\u6c11\u9676\u3080\u3089\u796d\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/fn_koishiwara-spring-pottery-festival_2023_cl-002.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/fn_koishiwara-spring-pottery-festival_2023_cl-002.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/fn_koishiwara-spring-pottery-festival_2023_cl-002.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/fn_koishiwara-spring-pottery-festival_2023_cl-002.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 May 3 (Sun., Hol) ~ May 5 (Tue., Hol), 2026<br \/>\n\u2022 9:00~17:00 (hours vary by kiln)<br \/>\n\u2022 Koishiwara Area, Toho Village<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/3RrVGChSbJ9qhT4DA\" target=\"_blank\">Koishiwara, Toho, Asakura District, Fukuoka<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/mintoumuramaturi.jimdofree.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/mintoumuramaturi.jimdofree.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Koishiwara Pottery Fair takes place in Koishiwara, a pottery village with around 350 years of history&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30291,"featured_media":152940,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-177048","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","location-fukuoka-prefecture","event-type-festival","en-US"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/177048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30291"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177048"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
