The husband, Yosuke, works with the potter's wheel and his wife, Chie, paints the pottery. The couple creates their pottery together and sells it at this shop. The kiln is located in the storehouse at back of the traditional Kyoto-style townhouse, known to be as long and narrow as “an eel’s bed.” The potter's wheel is located inside the shop, and if you happen to visit at the right timing, you can see the potters at work. Tasting and sales of sake by Tanzan Sake Brewery are also available at the store.
They say they are a branch of the family of Yamaichi next door, which has been in business since the Edo period (1603-1867). Their building has history and charm. In the back, you can see the room with the family’s Buddhist altar and a transom screens. They say they used to run an antique shop to preserve this machiya.
