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.
