HITA'S ARTISANS
Hita is a city where traditional industries thrive.
The local potteries, Onta-yaki, Seiryu-yaki and
Hita-yaki, have a history that goes back 300 years.
There is also the woodcraft which makes the
most of local materials, and lacquer ware of all sizes.
Each one of these finely-polshed arts not only
passes on its own traditions, but also adopts the
trends of the times to from a perfect
match with the modern age.
