Hagi Vase

Tenryū-gama (天龍窯) is a long-established Hagi pottery studio where vessels continue to be handcrafted today. The focus is on works created by the studio's own potters and artisans, complemented by selected pieces from friendly studios in the region.

The studio, exhibition space, and experiential area are located close together, offering an immediate insight into the creation process of the ceramics. This proximity of work, presentation, and interaction shapes the quiet, down-to-earth character of the workshop.

Founded in Hagi in the 1970s, Tenryū-gama developed from a small experimental kiln and maintained its focus on craftsmanship and regional roots for decades. A traditional Noborigama kiln underscores its close connection to the classical Hagi-yaki tradition.
