Sakamoto Yoshitaka Kiln is located at the entrance of Onta Pottery Village, home to ten kilns. While four of these kilns share the Sakamoto name, this particular kiln emphasizes the beauty of white slipware. Visitors can observe the unique characteristics of Onta ware, including the distinctive techniques of tobi-kanna (chatter marks), hakeme (brush strokes), and kushime (comb patterns). A visit offers a glimpse into the artistry and tradition of Onta pottery.
