A special event at the Shiga Prefectural Ceramic Forest looks into the soil of Shigaraki, which is often referred to as miraculous clay as it contains high levels of certain minerals - specifically feldspar and quartz - which react uniquely when fired. The exhibition will look at Shigaraki ware pieces made in this part of Japan from three different perspectives: pottery made in ancient times, the exchange of Shigaraki ware pieces and techniques with the United States, and a contemporary look at the art form.

Adult admission to the event is priced at 700 yen.
