Tamba - a remote and mountainous area lying to the northeast of Kyoto and Osaka - is the center of an ancient tradition of pottery that is still vigorous today. To Westeners, familiar with the elaborate enameled porcelains of Japan that have become famous throughout the world, the robust, unpretentious beauty of Tamba pottery presents a side of Japanese ceramics that has yet to be fully appreciated. The village of Tachikui is the last pottery village in Tamba. Here the craftsmen still maintain the unmistakable Tamba tradition . . . using skills and traditional methods little changed for 700 years.
