About Takuhi Gama Ceramic Art studio

Sixty kilometers north of the Shimane peninsula, floating in the Sea of Japan, is the Oki Islands archipelago.
And in the Dōzen region of the Oki Islands, in the southern part of Nishinoshima Town, stands Mt. Takuhi.
Looking down from atop this mountain is Takuhi Shrine.
Sailors have prayed to the powerful diety here for safe voyages since long, long ago.
Our kiln and studio, Takuhi Gama, sits at the base of this Mt. Takuhi.

In spring, giant yellow Oki dandelions and pink Oki thistles bloom all at once;
In summer, magnificent rainbows arch from island to island;
In autumn, bright orange and red leaves decorate every field and mountain;
In winter, the fragrance of wild yellow daffodils fills the air, and crimson red camellias catch the eyes of passersby.

It is here, living in harmony with the magnificent nature of Mt. Takuhi, that we spend our days.
We feel the gentle island breeze, and give life to our distinct, one-of-a-kind ceramics and dyed fabrics.
