Held every spring during Golden Week since 1966, this ceramics market takes place in Mashiko, renowned as the home of Japanese earthenware pottery. During the fair, about 50 pottery shops and 500 tents sell traditional Mashiko ware, everyday necessities such as cups and plates, and pure works of art. Shoppers can chat with potters and ceramics artists as they browse. The market attracts pottery collectors from across Japan-and even bus tours from Tokyo.
